Hi Adrian! (Note, I haven't copied this response to the Wt list as it doesn't really concern Wt.)
I would like to follow up on gcc 4.9.0 vs. 4.9.2. On Sun, Nov 23, 2014 at 6:22 AM, Adrien Nader <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > On Sat, Nov 22, 2014, K.

Would anyone have rough estimates for either Win-builds or Mingw-builds (or other native x64 builds) for when gcc 4.9.2 is likely to be ready? I'll take Adrian's warning about 4.9.0 seriously, but I would like to upgrade to 4.9 if a decent version becomes available in the near future. > ... > Boost isn't currently packaged since there had been no demand so far. > The relevant entry in the bug tracker was opened a couple weeks ago and > is at http://win-builds.org/bugs/index.php?do=details&task_id=86 .

As an aside, independent of Wt, I would probably give boost a try if a pre-built package were available. > Regards, > Adrien Nader Thanks very much for Win-builds (and Mingw-builds and everybody else's builds I've used over the years).
