We currently build yasm under all systems even those that can't use it , I doubt jwasm is this flexible but I can get around this It basically up to Brian , if he wants to go down the masm route , the effort on my part we be small. We will need to do a test first. We could supply a binary of jwasm instead of building it if its makefile is awkward , I suppose is it kept up to date as well , we dont use any AVX yet but we will use AVX2 on the new haswell (spring? 2013) Those who object to binarys are just jealous of us who can read machine code(for the 6809 anyway , 30 years ago) :) Jason -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
