In fact, I recently set out to obtain the source code for the VxWorks/GNU PowerPC cross-compiler and it turns out you have to request it from WindRiver. It is not accessible from their web site (at least not easy to find if it is there) and they do not mention in any documentation how to obtain the GNU compiler source. They also ask for a license number when you request the GNU compiler source. My question -- why do I need a Tornado license to receive GNU software?????? I'm not sure what they would have done if I hadn't provided a license number. BTW, they also distribute a cygwinb19.dll and apparently you have to request the source for it as well. Is WindRiver following the rules? Andy -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Check out: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
