Hi
Those that use mingw know that they have quite an old, but stable, set
of compilers (gcc 3.4 series). I've been experimenting with compiling
gcc 4.1 for a mingw target and host and have been able to successfully
produce binaries. Is there any interest in the GNUstep community for a
gcc 4.1 compiler set that runs on mingw and produces mingw binaries?
If anyone's interested, I'd write up some instructions and/or post
binaries if I had somewhere to put them. It appears to be possible to
compile the c and objc frontends using a normal 2/3 stage bootstrap
("make bootstrap"), and produce c/c++/objc/objc++ frontends by
recompilation with a gcc 4.1 set. I'm otherwise using mingw
binutils/w32api/mingw-runtime + a couple of gcc patches. I've been using
Windows Vista 32bit.
Has anyone else had any experience with gcc 4.1 on windows, particularly
with GNUstep? It would be interesting to hear about other people's
experience with this as well. Do people prefer cross-compilation (e.g.
produce a gcc cross-compiler for mingw target on a linux host)? I hope
this is not too off-topic for this list.
Regards
Chris
