Hi,
I finally got home and had a look into the windows based waf build. Only a
few small fixes were necessary to fix the build(tested with Fedora and
MSYS2 based gcc/mingw-w64 builds). I sent a pull request via github:
https://github.com/jackaudio/jack2/pull/118
Thanks,
Tim
Is the windows specific stuff actually needed to be tested? Waf builds
on windows doesn't seem to work (for me) anyway. I think I remember
widows builds are only done with a Code::Blocks IDE project? Or does
anyone cross compile for windows?
I added the windows based waf build a few years ago for cross compiling
jack2 on
Fedora. It is not the build system used for the official windows
builds.
I now also use it for compiling on windows using MSYS2/mingw-w64 build
environment:
https://github.com/mojofunk/MINGW-packages/tree/newpkgs/mingw-w64-jack
So I haven't tested it with any other configuration or with these recent
changes, so if there is a call to remove it from the waf build I am fine
with that.
In saying that I think that MSYS2 is a pretty good environment for
building
software on windows so if there is any interest to support a MSYS2
build I can submit patches to fix it up.

I think it is always interesting to keep more alternatives... so yes
please submit a patch!
Thanks.
