Ping.  I'm happy to try to help, but I'll have to close the bug without any more
information.

I suppose VCExpress 9.0 means the product of Microsoft "Visual C ++ Express 
Edition 
ver.9.0" .
I also want to know how to build gflags with Visual c++ or,at least, mingw.

If you work on windows, the only way to use glags is to build with Cygwin?

Interesting -- I had never considered that a windows user would want to use this
package.  It has such a different model of how flags work than the windows world
does, I thought it would be more confusing than helpful.  Maybe not!

It should work under cygwin.  I'll do what I can to make sure the next release 
works
with mingw as well.  I'd like to understand the use-case better with visual c++
though, to say how easy or hard it would be to support that.

I still don't have visual studio support, but -- after much gnashing of teeth 
-- this
does compile under mingw now, and all tests pass.

Support for Visual Studio would be a nice feature for some of us
who need multiplatform library for Unix* and Windows.Also glog logging
library is using it as an optional part. GLog library has a
native support for Windows so again it will be great if we can use
gflags directly with Visual Studio without dependency on cygwin or
mingw.

Ok, fair enough.  It's a bit of work to port things to the windows build 
environment,
but hopefully after doing the mingw porting work the visual studio porting will 
be
easier.  I'll look into getting this for the next release.

OK, this should work under visual studio with the new release (gflags 1.3).  
Let me 
know if you still have trouble.

Super. Good to hear, that gflags should work now also under visual studio. We 
will
try it next week and let you if there will be some problems.
Thanks
