Just wondering what is the official stand from the OpenOCD project with regard to MinGW.org toolchain support. It may not be as popular as a cross-compiler under Linux distros compared to MinGW-w64 (many Linux distros change to MinGW-w64 now), but under Windows, it is definitely much more popular than MinGW-w64. http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/ Weekly downloads: > half a million http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/ Weekly downloads: < 10,000 One of the reasons why MinGW-w64 is not that popular under Windows is that they have not provide a proper installer. If it is decided that MinGW.org is not officially supported by OpenOCD project, then it is better to state this explicitly. -- Xiaofan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
