[Dev-C++] new MingwPORT archive on www.mingw.org file list.

[Guillermo G. <ggu...@ma...>]

can anyone tell me about the new archive on the mingw.org file list?
I noticed that it has just been put on there within the last week.

(gnupg-1.4.0-mingwPORT-1.tar.bz2)
thanks,

I only guess, but it seems to be a way of providing MinGW building=20
support for various projects out there, not by redistributing the whole=20
source again modified to compile with MinGW, nor by providing=20
precompiled libs, but instead providing scripts and diffs, that are only=20
a few kbytes, and which can be applied to the official release to make=20
it compile with MinGW.

That's only my guess though, by taking a glance at it's contents, I may=20
be wrong. But nevertheless (if I was correct), this is a very clever and=20
good initiative of giving projects' MinGW building support.
