This is a full "current version" release and supersedes the formerly experimental -2 package. It fixes two specs-handling errors that were introduced in the -2 package, causing failures of debugging information and arc profiling. It also works around the g77 library installation bug that first showed up in -2. With these fixes, there are no regressions relative to the original -1 release of the gcc-3.4.4 series. Thanks to everyone who tested and reported both problems and successes with the experimental version, and to Angelo Graziosi in particular for his help. ------------------------------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. Because this is a full "current" version release, any gcc packages you currently have installed will be automatically selected to update, but you'll need to select the Devel category to see gcc and friends if you don't have them already installed. NEWS ==== From the README: ---------- version 3.4.4-3 ----------- 2006-09-25 * Promoted experimental release to current. * Implemented workaround for g77 library installation bug (PR17725/PR17726/PR21792). ---------- 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 -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/
