Hi Charles/all,

    Is it possible to build Mkyaffs utils on  visual studio 2005. i mean how
difficult it is, if we take mkyaffs linux code and build on VS2005?

  Is there any other way around/options available?  my requirement is to
build mkyaffs2image utility on VS2005.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Rammohan
