MapServer and Borland C++

[Lyndon Zimmermann]

What would be REALLY nice would be the full Apache/MapServer/Perl or
PHP/script development environment install.  I'd also like to be able to
distribute an Apache/MapServer version, with limited datasets, to users
"off the Information Superhighway".

MSVC++ is $175 academic price at Adelaide Uni.

There don't seem to be any decent free Windows compilers outside of the pain involved with cygwin and gcc. BTW VC++ is $99 US. It makes no sense to me to support compilers other than VC++ since what most Windows users really want is a binary distribution. It's amazing that a prime server platform is such a pain to support.

I think this is a role the University could possibly fill, any volunteers? Should be possible to set up an environment where the Windows distribution is kept in sync with the CVS. Sure would be worth the effort and would greatly add to MapServer credibility.
