[netperf-talk] Built trunk on Windows, OS interoperability

[Cook, Jonathan]

Jeremy,
Could you send the command that you used that did not work?  Were you running netperf or netserver on Windows when it didn't work?  I have been using netserver on Linux and netperf on Windows without a problem. I built my Windows executable in the Windows XP x86 free build environment and it works on both XP and Windows 7.  You might want to try that.

As an experiment I built in the Windows Win7 x64 free build environment and did not see the error you are seeing.

Hi Rick, sorry for the delay.  I went and tried to build svn585 and things were significantly cleaner, and I did not have to remove the OMNI tests.

Still there was 1 error, and the built executables did not function properly when testing linux<->windows.  They did work when talking windows<->windows.

Attached is the build logs, if you'd like to have a look.
