Win7 gcc 4.8.3-? Netbeans 7.4 Hi csaba;
I just downloaded the latest version of gcc (16 Jun version). Strangely enough, the [ANNOUNCEMENT] says that it is gcc 4.8.3-1 and the setup download says it is gcc 4.8.3-2. Sigh. There are some changes. The i686-pc-cygwin-gcc-4.8.2.exe x86_64-pc-cygwin-gcc-4.8.3.exe executables are missing as well as all executables for gnu cygwin, that is: i686-pc-cygwin-* x86_64-pc-cygwin-* instead we are left with our friends, gcc.exe, g++.exe, gfortran.exe, and as.exe. The /usr directories and the /usr/lib/gcc directories are unchanged. I can understand (I think) the /usr directories, there is 1 directory supporting gnu cygwin and 3 directories supporting mingw, but I don't understand /usr/lib/gcc. There is, at best, only one gnu cygwin executable toolchain, but there are 2 directories which support gnu cygwin, i686-pc-cygwin x86_64-pc-cygwin Now if I can sort of make sense out of the previous collection of executables and directories, this one seems to have too many directories for the supported gnu cygwin compilers in /usr/lib/gcc or too few executables in /bin. There is but one other point. There has been a change to the compiler version supported in /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin. It is now 4.8.3 instead of 4.8.2. The new list is: /usr/lib/gcc/ i686-pc-cygwin 4.8.3 i686-pc-mingw32 4.7.3 i686-w64-mingw32 4.8.2 x86_64-pc-cygwin 4.8.3 x86_64-w64-mingw32 4.8.2 Bye the bye, being a quick and quite inaccurate typist, my last e-mail should have said, "In any case, anything you can do to clarify would be appreciated (including the statement, "read the book")." The sentiment is still valid. art -- 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
