Upon futher inspection, Disk cache truncating (using polipo -x) appears to be completely broke on native Windows when using Mingw. The following is printed to the log: "Couldn't fts_open disk cache: Function not implemented" Upon examination just as it suggeststhe fts_* functions aren't really implemented fully in MinGw. http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/gnulib/fts_005fopen.html "... Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib: This function is missing on some platforms: AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 10, mingw, BeOS. ..." Another instance on this causing problems in another project: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg13060.html It almost looks like either special modification to the code to handle MinGW would be needed or a special truncating utility for native windows would need to be made in order to get such a thing working on the win side... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
