Hi, I'm happy to release the 1.3 RC1 version of the win-builds.org project.
This project creates a system to build and distribute for Windows from almost any system: *native* Windows, MSYS*, Cygwin and Linux. Everything is done through a portable package manager for easy installation, maintenance and update. As with previous versions, this one mostly brings fixes and documentation updates. The most important changes are: - stop relying on mklink.exe to create directory junctions - fixed "mingw" symlink in the root dir on windows (combined with the previous change, this fixes installation on Windows XP/2k3) - fix wrong mirror in the Linux chroot - remove extra symlinks to non-existent gfortran binaries - missing .exe extension for some GCC binaries - some files weren't removed when removing a package - libjpeg update to fix CVE-2013-6629 ( http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-6629 ) - introduce an .bat file to automate installation steps; its use is described at http://win-builds.org/1.3-rc1/#_from_windows (full GUI installer a bit later) The hope is that besides minor tweaks, "1.3 RC1" can be promoted to "1.3 stable". As a reminder, some highlights of the 1.3 version: - updated GCC, mingw-w64 and other packages - new packages: winpthreads, dbus, x264 - fallbacks for POSIX symlink on Windows - almost exhaustive documentation - stabilization of the build system along with speed improvements - maintained for security updates For all issues, you can use the bugtracker at: Website: http://win-builds.org Bug Tracker: http://win-builds.org/bugs/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
