Glad to hear the first part! And, yes, mingw. Thanks for reminding me, I need to highlight this fact in release notes. A few people have stumbled into it, and I forget that it's not a reliable assumption. > I guess MinGW is still required to run rustc right now?

For now it'll be release notes. > Is it possible to link in gcc statically into the compiler on windows? > I think I heard something about switching to MSVC in the long run, but > as an intermediate step it would be good to get rid of fairly obscure > (on windows) binaries as dependencies. Nope. We might wind up taking a dependency on libclang at some point, but I don't think gcc really enjoys being packaged up as a component of another program that way. I certainly don't know how to do it; it'd be a lot of work. Mingw is a requirement for using rust on windows right now. -Graydon _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
