Category: MinGW Installer Group: None Status: Closed Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 1 Private: No Submitted By: Jim Michaels (jmichae3) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: please update installer with working gcc 4.4.0 build Initial Comment: I have found it impossible to install 5.1.6 and then install gcc 4.4.0 over the top and still have a working 4.4.0 compiler. it just doesn't work. please make a working installer-based build or compiler package (at least a zip file) of the whole 4.4.0 compiler & utilities set available. even better if I could uncheck items I don't want, such as pdcurses, gdb, guile. If not, I can simply find and delete those. even better would be the 4.4.3 release (the current release), but I would be happy with 4.4.0 since it contains TR1 and would match mingw-w64. the documentation for TR1 (actually thw whole C/C++ library sets is at http://www.dinkumware.com/manuals/ a link via a .url file would be a very good idea I think. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jim Michaels (jmichae3) Date: 2010-01-26 00:38 Message: so are you are saying the entire site at sf.net/projects/mingw and mingw.org is now a dud and to use mingw-w64 instead? If so then why not update the web site? the mingw.org site recommends 5.1.6. something somewhere needs to be updated. please. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Keith Marshall (keithmarshall) Date: 2010-01-25 02:20 Message: A semantic nit: you don't install MinGW-5.1.6; you *use* MinGW-5.1.6 to install a MinGW-GCC-3 toolchain. However, the entire MinGW-5.1.x installer series has been deprecated for some time now; it will *never* be updated to support GCC-4. The features you request will be provided by the upcoming mingw-get ; your bug report against a defunct, deprecated and unmaintained product will not make this appear any more quickly; (indeed, the time spent rejecting this frivolous report is time I could have spent progressing the development of mingw-get). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=102435&aid=2937725&group_id=2435 |
