Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3267137 By: dannysmith Looks good. You do know that if you distribute the gcc compiler, binutils and gdb in your complete mingw package, you will also have to provide sources for these binaries, as per the GPL.

Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3267168 By: danielosmari I have tested it some months ago, and the main problems I found are still present. There's no way I can configure a project to use pkg-config without creating my own Makefile. And the compiler options dialog is still a mess. One of Dev-C++' main strengths is its simplicity. I doubt that the users that use it mainly because of this will like CodeBlocks. But I would love a 'lite' version of CodeBlocks, with all the GUI simplicity in Dev-C++ + some features present in CodeBlocks, like code folding, plugins, working class-browser, workspaces, etc. --- Daniel K.

Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3267277 By: rickg22 Oh, I just noticed on the GPL v2, section 3c) : c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) So I guess a link's OK, right? ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.

Wrong. 3c applies if mingw.org has given you a written offer to provide source for three-year period (as per 3b). Then you could just accompany the binary with that witten offer. Do you have such a written offer? I think what you need to do is to get a positive agreement form sourceforge admins that the sources used to produce the binaries will be available at a sourceforge net address as long as you distribute the binaries. Then you could just publish a link to that site. There is something like that mentioned in the GPL FAQ's Danny ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.

Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3268159 By: rickg22 How funny, because dev-cpp does NOT distribute the sourcecode for the MINGW binaries it has. Dev-cpp has been around for years, and I haven't seen any complaint about it. Are we having some license discrepancy problem? Anyway, one thing to clarify. In codeblocks, the executable installer can _ONLY_ be downloaded from sourceforge (we'd be crazy to use our own bandwidth for that, anyway). Does this change the distribution terms regarding MINGW binaries? ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.

Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3268263 By: fidler I have to admit I am guilty as well. upp.sf.net also ships with mingw and also does not provide GCC sources. Anyway, I hate doing stupid things. I think copying files from one sf.net ftp folder to another will not help anything. Ok, perhaps I will provide link in Downloads page. Technically there is little difference in providing link to sources there or in Files page. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.

I think >copying files from one sf.net ftp folder to another >will not help anything I'd say SourceForge counts as the same place. But if you think copying the source is stupid, why are you copying binaries? Why not just direct people to the MinGW site in order to get binaries in the first place?

Dev-cpp has been around for years, and I haven't seen any complaint about it. Are we having some license discrepancy problem? IMO, Dev-Cpp is violating the GPL. I have posted a message to that effect to the Dev-cpp users list, but have not received any response from the Dev-Cpp developers. If you really want an authoritative answer, correspond with the copyright holders for gcc, binutils, gdb, the libgmon.a code in the mingw runtime, etc and ask them what you need to do. Not making any attempt to fulfill GPL obligation sets a very bad example for other windows projects ("Dev-Cpp doesn't care about the GPL, CodeBlocks doesn't care, etc, so why should I?". As a result, the value of the GPL is depreciated. That's why I'm making an issue of this.

Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3268714 By: jigal2 Hi, Downloaded and used it on a present mingw distribution I have, and a VERY simple project. On the outset - very impressive. More to the details: Problems: 1. Adding libraries is too long. Should have an option to add libraries in a bunch. The message "add using lreative path" is redundant after the 1st time. 2. I couldn't change the background color. It stayed white. Personally, I prefer gray.... 3. I tried using the buildin support for gdb, and I couldn't see any present line mark or anything. Trying to step a few times and the program completed.... In short - this does not seem to work. Also - where can I display variables? Requests: 1. Find in files should support file pattern and finding in foldrs as well - not just opened files or project files. (for instance, searching for a definition in mingw's include folder....). Good stuff: 1. Nice editor. 2. Very nice class information and code folding. Looks as powerful as eclipse... ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.

Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3268725 By: fidler I do. I offer our thing in several varietes. I just want users to save downloading and installing - if they want to use mingw, they can download one package, install it in single step and have it all setup, ready to run. Separate downloading is just more complicated. Also, we are using faster ld replacement, so that it is not 100% mingw (we supply code for this faster linker with each installation with BSD license - it is written from the scratch, does not contain any original code). ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.

We posted downloads (they're sourceforge downloads from the mingw directory) of the mingw source code tarballs to our downloads page. I think that leaves the GPL issue settled :) ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.

Hi guys! I'm trying to find some information about the use of a DBE-like (Double Buf= fer Extension) in Windows. What i need is to use backbuffers created on the= video card memory.=20 Does anybody knows if its possible to use DBE under mingw? Or if i'll have to use ActiveX, have anybody used ActiveX with mingw?
