I've been on this mailing list for some time now and use mingw (both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions) for several production systems. What I would like to see is not a commitment to a release schedule but a document that clearly states the commitment to specific principles. For example:
* Can compile the same source code as MSC VC++ (is this true?) * No Microsoft copyrighted headers in the build tree (so reimplementation) * Uses Microsoft DLLs, rather than GNU DLLs, for key functions (is this true anymore?) * Compiles both Windows Threads and POSIX threads (true?) * Equally produces static-linked and dynamic-linked binaries (this is VITAL for incident response. The problem is that many of the packets in the repositories include dynamic versions but not static versions) * Compiled code supports both gdb and Microsoft debugger tools (true?) Anyway, you get the idea. If this list is available somewhere, I haven't seen it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
