YES, YES and YES. I demand an osX build machine NOW!!!! Remote access is ok. Now more seriously, I can (relatively easy) compile test my pull requests with: - linux x86 (latest fedora, but I can get an older one if needed) - linux x86_64 (latest fedor,, but the same) - mingw64 32bit (latest fedora, but here I have the problem that Peter uses a different crosscompiler than me) - mingw64 32bit (the same) But for the rest, I need to wait that somebody told me that it breaks the build. Normally it is things like size_t is 32bit instead of 64bit or some stupid things like that, that are trivial to fix if I can compile there before doing the pull submission. Later, Juan.
