Greetings! Followup on email next.... Thanks for the 'help help. I've queued the import of 'si::help into the user package for the next update.
GCL really can't cross compile, as it needs to check various runtime behaviors at configure time, such as sbrk non-randomization. If you want to checkout a Windows build, install the latest Cygwin, with git, use Cygwin git to clone and checkout Version_2_6_13 from savannah, and build as usual. If you try this, please keep me posted. Take care, Wolfgang Dautermann <wolfgang.dauterm...@fh-joanneum.at> writes: > Hi Camm, > thanks for the new release!
