Dmitrii, thank you for the thoughtful response. I really am looking for information here.
<snip> If you're looking for the reason that gcc-3 was removed from your computer during your recent upgrade, I believe that question has been answered by Chris. If you're wondering why gcc-3 is not offered as an alternate package through Cygwin now, I have offered you the reasoning behind the current state of things. In addition, I've provided you with ways of "resurrecting" gcc-3 on your system if you wish to pursue that. One of these ways should be enough to restore you to a state where you can use gcc-3 in the cases you want to do so. Beyond that, I'm not sure what your question is. If you have a specific one, go ahead and ask it. A continued discussion of how and why gcc-3 is useful for you isn't a real interesting read for most on this list IMO. Let's see if we can bring this thread to its logical end. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
