As the person who started using the term "cygming" in the gcc context, I want to assure you that the software was not intended to maliciously cause people problems. I understand that this happens quite often in the free software world -- people spend hours cackling with glee as they produce a binary package whose sole intent is to provide the illusion of usefulness, when it will really just format a hard drive or something. However, although I did not actually produce the package in question, I can vouch for the person who did. So please set aside your fears and concerns about gcc. The word "ming" in this context merely reflects an unforgivable lack of knowledge of British slang. I should point out that it is unlikely that anyone is going to be changing gcc to accommodate the needs of Geomview (whatever that is) so perhaps you should mark Geomview as "unsupported on cygwin" since this version number difference is apparently close to an insurmountable problem. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
