Noone ever said it was easy. But, its a large amount of work to get this in, and, gcc is in stage 4 --- we have to wait for stage 1 to start thinking of contributing mingw32ce there. I think that people here believe that a straight forward port is a silver bullet to solve bugs we know about in 4.1 ... Well, it's not. > Of course we could now release a cegcc-4.4 but it would be a nonsense to do > it without updating also > mingw and I prefer to contribute directly to mingw-w64 instead of keeping a > local copy here. Honestly, I don't understand what's the benefit of mingw-w64 compared to our tree, or even, the official mingw. Can you explain? It's not like we can't update our local copy from upstream mingw. > That's why I am begging you to report cegcc patches into binutils/gcc so > that you allow other people to contribute > more efficiently to this platform. gcc is in stage 4 --- we have to wait for stage 1 to start thinking of contributing mingw32ce there. I've pointed out before what needs to be done to make that happen. I'm seriously aiming into pushing into gcc 4.5. I'm making an effort to be able to find a bit of time to pick this up... -- Pedro Alves ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
