I think it's very desirable to have a GNU toolchain for Windows that is *just* that; for example, some people like/need to be able to compile GNU software with a non-GNU compiler. </quote> I understand this point as well. However, I also understand the point of the extension library. Perhaps some environment setting to control the addition of the mingwex library would keep everyone happy? Inclusion by default should remain the normal. Earnie |
