This is currently an experimental release owing to the presence of regressions found during testing, although they appear only to relate to PCH and profiling; the extra FAILS are:- +FAIL: gcc.dg/pch/warn-1.c (test for excess errors) +FAIL: gcc.dg/pch/warn-1.c (test for excess errors) +FAIL: gcc.misc-tests/bprob-1.c execution: file bprob-1.gcda does not exist, -g -fprofile-arcs +FAIL: gcc.misc-tests/bprob-1.c execution: file bprob-1.gcda does not exist, -O3 -g -DPERFTIME -fprofile-arcs +FAIL: gcc.misc-tests/bprob-2.c execution: file bprob-2.gcda does not exist, -g -fprofile-arcs +FAIL: gcc.misc-tests/bprob-2.c execution: file bprob-2.gcda does not exist, -O3 -g -DPERFTIME -fprofile-arcs +FAIL: gcc.misc-tests/gcov-2.c gcov failed: gcov-2.c.gcov does not exist Therefore it seems probable that the compiler will still serve for most conventional compilations, and this release is particularly aimed at helping maintainers of packages who have experienced PR24196 to get new package releases up and running. ------------------------------ooOOOoo------------------------------ PLEASE SEND BUG REPORTS, PROBLEMS, ETC. TO THE CYGWIN MAILING LIST. ------------------------------ooOOOoo------------------------------ OBTAINING THE RELEASE ===================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup.exe, fill in all of the options, and make appropriate choices on the "Select Packages" screen. You'll need to select the Devel category to see gcc and friends. Because this is an experimental release, it will not be selected for installation by default; you will need to manually select the set of gcc packages you want in the package chooser dialog. Another consequence of this being an experimental release is that if you re-run setup.exe, it will by default revert your system to the current stable version of gcc, 3.4.4-1; you must manually set the gcc packages to 'Skip' in the package chooser to retain your experimental version. NEWS ==== From the README: ---------- version 3.4.4-2 ----------- 2006-07-20 * Experimental release of gcc-3.4.4-2 to fix PR24196, which has been causing problems passing std::string instances to dlls. Implemented the patch by Paolo Carlini rather than using --enable-fully-dynamic-string. * Restored and updated GNU Pascal, but highly experimental and not seriously tested yet. * Updated build script, but one problem remains: /usr/src must be mounted in managed mode when setup.exe is used to install the sources, or they must be copied from there to a managed directory before building. cheers, DaveK -- *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
