Compiling gcc for cygwin

2008-08-22 Thread NightStrike
I figured I would take the liberty of informing anyone from the cygwin community that might not be on the gcc mailing lists. After a recent merge of the tuples branch of gcc to the mainline gcc, gcc stopped being compilable by the 3.4.4 compiler that comes with cygwin. There are two bugs for

Is there an approximate timeline for when the gmp and mpfr packages will be upgraded to the minimum required for compiling gcc? Really, I guess it's just mpfr that has to be upgraded to 2.3.0., but I think mpfr 2.3.0 requires gmp 4.2.2. -- Unsubscribe info:
