Hi, So I e-mailed mingw-editor@ about the cross-compiler entry in the FAQ being out-dated and ended up joining. So I can think of adding/updating 3 entries: (1) the fact that the FAQ itself is out-dated and more information is to be found at the Wiki (2) about cross-compiler binaries - I know of two other places R and Wine (www.r-project.org and www.winehq.org) which refers to link to some binaries and probably a bit more on the x86 script. (3) the location of cvs is not clear - some is on sourceforge but out-of-date, some is on cygwin.org , and it is not mentioned on the web site. So, anybody has any other FAQs? (such as (3) - I was told it has been discussed - but the whole point of an FAQ is one doesn't need to search, even if it is in the archive) On a separate note, has anybody thought of providing rpm's for the cross-tools? (it could be an FAQ as well.) That's one of my recent interests - involves tracking down a change between mingw 3.10 and 3.11 which triggers a bug in wine, and it is important to be able to swap versions of the cross tool in and out cleanly. I don't really like what the packaging linked from wine-devel doc does (installing binaries first before upgrading/building), and I am thinking of adapting the cross-script for that purpose.adapting the cross script - what it is missing is just an additional "make PREFIX=$RPM_INSTALL_ROOT" step and some slightly different config. ___________________________________________________________ Inbox full of spam?
