Okay. I trust that you know what you are talking about, but I still don't really understand. By saying "there are already ..." are you implying that the "typical Windows problems" become worse when using MinGW? And further, are these problems that can actually be solved, or simply worked around. > For the build environment, it is unlikely that we ever get rid of > Cygwin. I thought that MinGW came with gcc, gnu make, and so on. Am I mistaken, or are they poorly implemented, or what? -- Matt Gushee When a nation follows the Way, Englewood, Colorado, USA Horses bear manure through mgushee@havenrock.com its fields; http://www.havenrock.com/ When a nation ignores the Way, Horses bear soldiers through its streets. --Lao Tzu (Peter Merel, trans.) ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
