Although I know the advantages of MinGW and the fact that we have manpowertrouble I think it is not very smart. Cygwin is often more widespread and also offers better compatibility. I can't compile FTP.app on MinGW, while it would most probably work on Cygwin since it has "real" sockets, the same goes for another couple of application I tried under windows which depend on a more unixy environment. I know that most of these applications could be fixed with a certain effort, perhaps small, but this options commetns by itself and it is the reason why cygwin is often preferred to mingw. -R _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
