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
