MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows

Hey All,

I've been playing with make 3.81 and when running:

./configure --enable-case-insensitive-file-system --prefix=/mingw

I get the following:

WARNING: Your system has neither waitpid() nor wait3().
         Without one of these, signal handling is unreliable.
         You should be aware that running GNU make with -j
         could result in erratic behavior.

It compiles cleanly and seems to work (I haven't tried the -j option).
 I was wondering if we should package up a binary for the mases?  I
don't want to step on any toes, but I would be willing to do the
packaging.

Chris

Yeah. IIRC, I saw the same with make-3.81-beta-4, which also seemed to work pretty well for me, even to the extent of passing the majority of the test cases for `make check'. (I've not visited it again since). > ... (I haven't tried the -j option). No, I didn't either; not sure if it can offer much advantage, with only a single processor system :-) > I was wondering if we should package up a binary for the mases?

I was thinking of a mingwPORT and then decided against that as it is one of the base utilities needed. As for -j I remember on the make-gw32 list there was talk of some patches to try to make it work for windows. It does require multiple CPU in the box to make it worth doing though.

Before I upload it to SourceForge, can I get someone to please check the packaging to confirm that's it acceptable? http://emergedesktop.org/mingw/mingw32-make-3.81-1-src.tar.gz http://emergedesktop.org/mingw/mingw32-make-3.81-1.tar.gz Like version 3.80.0-3, I've added a 'doc/PORTNOTES' in the binary tarball explaining how the binary was produced. Thanx! Chris -- Chris Sutcliffe http://ir0nh34d.blogspot.com http://emergedesktop.org

I'm assuming that no news is good news, and the packaging is fine. Barring an emails stating the opposite, I'll upload these builds to SourceForge tomorrow.
