From: martin AT buntypost DOT dundee DOT ncr DOT com (Smith, Martin) Subject: RE: Question on STL 28 Mar 1998 20:02:29 -0800 Message-ID: <199803221447.GAA20206.cygnus.gnu-win32@cygnus.com> To: "'gnu-win32'" On a related note I was wondering how the mingw32 EGCS is going? I have just picked up the B19 version mentioned below but would like to get mingw32 set up too. On this topic, can anyone clarify the best way to get some of these tools to co-exist. I'd like to keep B19 (or EGCS now) for Un*x ports but would also like to use mingw32 (again, probably with EGCS in due course). Is there any consenus on the easiest/most flexible way of doing this? At the moment I have two batch files which call Bash after setting up the correct environment (one for Cygnus and one for mingw32). My mingw32 setup appeared to work. Of course, now that I have dropped EGCS over B19, my mingw32 setup has reverted to requiring cygnusb19.dll :-( Are there a lot of differences between EGCS cygwin and EGCS mingw32? At the moment, a lot of the information on how to set the various toolsets (gnuwin32, mingw32, egcs, mingw32 gcc native etc) is a bit fragmented and some of it is still B18-related. It would be nice if we could pull some of the information together. I know the keepers of each of these toolchains are very busy and are updating their FAQs as they get the opportunity so please don't take this is as a complaint ! I am just suggesting that it would be nice if we could collate some of the information in some way (I think Mumit asked for feedback in this area a month or so ago so I am really just seconding his request to document the whole co-existence situation as best we can). This would be especially useful for relative newcomers like myself who, for example, have an, as yet, poor understanding of things like specs files :-) Regards, Martin PS. Thanks for all the hard work that went into B19, mingw32, egcs, gcc 2.8.1 etc ! > -----Original Message----- > From: Mumit Khan [SMTP:khan AT xraylith DOT wisc DOT edu] > Sent: Thursday, March 19, 1998 6:15 PM > To: Carolyn Fiebig > Cc: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com > Subject: Re: Question on STL > > Hi Carolyn, > > The C++ front-end that comes with Gnu-Win32 b19 is rather old and broken > in quite a few ways; I recommend that you replace the dev. toolchain with > my pre-built EGCS 1.0.2 distribution.
