Hi all. Recently Rob Tulloh has notified me that he's no longer able to give the maintenance of the Windows port of GNU make the attention he would like, due to other demands on his time. I would like to publicly thank him for his many years of dedication to and support of that effort, and I hope his workload eases in the future so he can spare us some more cycles! :) This leaves us without anyone (AFAIK) on the alpha-test or pre-test lists who is actively supporting or testing the Windows ports. Unfortunately (? ;), I don't have a Windows system that I can even test the build on, much less the expertise to provide code fixes. Indeed, we had some issues with the current 3.79 release on Windows :(. So, if you are interested in helping pretest GNU make on Windows, and/or if you are willing and able to help answer Windows-specific problems (a good number of problems I see are related to Windows shells, etc. and I just don't understand the issues well enough to provide solutions), and/or if you would like to consider Windows-specific enhancements, please let me know. Thanks in advance. BTW, while Eli Zaretskii is still providing excellent support for the DOS port of GNU make, it would be great if we had a few more pretesters for this port, as well. Let me know if you'd like to become a pretester for GNU make. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
