Yes, it has been a while and I had some hacks to compile it, but I never 
got it running really nice.

I have some problems as I use the compile script to compile on windows, 
where IIRC you cross-compile on Linux.

There are some issues with compiling libcio on windows:

1. libcdio needs iconv but ./configure under MinGW fails to detect iconv 
ATM:

checking for shared library run path origin... done
checking for iconv... no, consider installing GNU libiconv
checking for nl_langinfo and CODESET... no
configure: error: You must have iconv installed.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make: Nothing to be done for `install'.

I have now hacked my way around it by moving some libraries but we need 
a proper solution of course.

2. iconv does not compile out of the box under MinGW, as there seem to 
be issues in rock.c with S_ISLNK() and S_ISSOCK(). Macros are detected 
properly in the ./configure process but during compilation it breaks on 
some code using it.

I have hacked (quick and dirty) my way around them now, but still need 
to finish compile and find a proper solution for building on the native 
windows platforms.

Kind regards,

Jonathan
