It would be reasonably difficult for them to be forgiven for their transgressions i'm afraid, but not impossible. It would need to be started from their side however, and they would need to reform the way they operate in addition to apologise for their severe failures. > > > > > > Cheers, > > > Albert > > > > With regards to MingW, the better way to do this would be by using > > native MingW rather than cross compiling.

Not too much magic - all the information on install locations can be found within Craft / Craftmaster.

(I'm curious though as to why MingW on Windows is relevant given the GCC on Linux coverage and MSVC on Windows that we already have) > > Cheers, > Albert Cheers, Ben > > > > > Regards, > > Ben > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Regards, > > > > > > > > > > - Johan > > > > > > > > Cheers, > > > > Ben > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
