On the contrary here is a .zip of the executable, with needed DLLs: https://www.kylheku.com/~kaz/d2xml.zip SHA256: fbd56a70a23cc34e6085c5a754c79046c0f96258e4aebda8197e82a53c3551ef All I did weas build this on Cygwin with gcc -O2 directorytoxml.c -o d2xml Then bundled the d2xml.exe with the needed DLLs and zipped up. Literally, a minute of work. The cygwin1.dll isn't the Cygwin one but from the Cygnal project, so this should understand native Windows paths. If you point it at C:\Users\whoever\whatever, it should work. Remark: I would have used the POSIX nftw function in this, instead of rolling my own recursive traversal. -- TXR Programming Language: http://nongnu.org/txr Cygnal: Cygwin Native Application Library: http://kylheku.com/cygnal Mastodon: @Kazinator@mstdn.ca
