(1) There is no Solaris binary either, but you claim we should say we support that. (2) PCB *does* include scripts to build under Windows (mingw). Heck, there's a toplevel "win32/" subdirectory in the pcb sources! Plus, I have a windows binary-installer from Dan. I think there were just a few quirks left to iron out, but it seems to work just fine for me. > > I'd rather not intentionally put ourselves in the "we're only for Linux" > > crowd. > > The statement was about the application, not about the people. I was speaking of gEDA and PCB.

No, mingw does not. That's the difference between cygwin and mingw - cygwin provides a runtime, mingw does not. Mingw programs run right on the raw Win32 API, just like VC-compiled programs. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
