1. Using Mike Thomas' MinGW/MSYS setup that includes GCC 3.3.1: a. Builds of 2.6.8 and 2.6.10pre accomplished on WinXP run on both WinXP and Win7 b. I can't build anything today on Win7 with a fresh clone. Attached are config and make logs from attempt to build 2.6.8 and 2.6.10pre CLtL1 on Win7 using GCC 3.3.1 -- config appears to survive but make ends with a segfault in both cases. 2. David's MInGW setup with GCC 4.6.2 builds only 2.6.8 and only on WinXP. It doesn't build or run on Win7. _don ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Don Winiecki, Ed.D., Ph.D. Professor Boise State University, College of Engineering Dept of Organizational Performance & Workplace Learning (OPWL) 1910 University Drive, Boise, Idaho 83725-2070 USA E-mail: address@hidden WWW: http://opwl.boisestate.edu Telephone: (+01) 208 426 1899 Fax: (+01) 208 426 1970 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~d On Thu, Oct 10, 2013 at 3:50 AM, David Billinghurst <address@hidden> wrote: > On 10/10/2013 12:47 PM, Camm Maguire wrote: >> >> David Billinghurst <address@hidden> writes: >> >>> That works.
