libconfigduo

I tried doing an out of source build of this library but it did not work. I created a patch that fixes the issue. Please take a look at: 464128.bugs.gentoo.org...

Hi,

can anybody help me building libconfig with MinGW under Windows and without Cygwin??

Yours, Markus

It seems like defining make LDFLAGS='foo' only gets applied to the C library and not the C++ one, should this be defined somewhere else or is it just a bug?

Hi, I'm looking into using libconfig++ and in some regards it looks great
* Good documentation
* Nice format (at least compared to the limits of INI and eyesore of XML :)
* Convenient methods (I was looking into Boost property trees, and found myself wanting to write a a very libconfig-esque abstraction layer on top :)

I do have a few gripes with it though:
* I'm wanting to add methods to the libconfig::Setting class, however, since the constructor for this one is private, it looks tricky. It's noted down in the header as not supported(?), is this likely to change?
* The way that libconfig::Setting must be initialised with a reference appears to make it again very clunky to wrap around, it pretty much disables any abstraction class exposing a libconfig::Setting object, right? Why?

really nice library. however:
- the Setting class is missing all the simple "lookup()" function (with the same semantic than the ones in the Config class).
- the readFile() and writeFile method are missing an overload taking a std::string for the file name.
- for @include directives: included files should be specified relative to the directory of the including file (not the current directory)
