2012/11/30 Gilles <[email protected]>: > 1. BTW, if the MinGW version offers better support for shell use, why > is the Windows binary compiled with MSVC? The Windows binary is compiled with MinGW, only the commandline parser is replaced, in order to fix bugs like [13b7388964], [490b6c2edd] [cadc9aa78f], [d22946aa0c], all related to not using utf-8 on Windows. This parser doesn't do command-line expansion, just like MSVC and mingw-w64. Command-line expansion is an unique feature of MinGW, it is useful when using the Windows command line prompt, but is not expected in other situations.
See also ticket [8ca2aae391], which contains Richard's remark how to finally fix that. > 2. Also, the Fossil wiki says: "Note that Fossil requires the "zlib" > compression library.

That's fixed now, the wiki can be adapted: You don't need to install zlib any more on Windows in order to build fossil. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
