Is this what you mean? http://mingw-w64.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mingw-w64/trunk/mingw-w64-headers/ddk/ mingw.org's w32api was all folded into the mingw-w64 project. There is no w64api.

They just aren't in the trunk, they're in the experimental area. The reason for this is that they were copied from Wine. If you want directx, you can either get the DDK and use it directly, or use what's from Wine, or use what we copied from Wine. ___ fedora-mingw mailing list fedora-mingw@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fedora-mingw

I agree that static linking is much more preferred on a windows platform, even for performance reasons. I will note, however, that there is possibly one scenario where shipping a dll is desirable. That is, when you have multiple executables in your "Super App", and they all link to the same lib. In that case, having them all link to a dll that you deliver has advantages (especially if we get delayed loading to work). Plugin management for an app is another place where dll support is desirable. All of these, I warrant, are exceptions. I still agree that the default should be static. ___ fedora-mingw mailing list fedora-mingw@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fedora-mingw
