(I created a separate thread, since this is not related to the original message, and I would like the question related to the new release to be debated)

FYI, I had a similar problem with QEMU, and for it I added a separate script, to build the native binaries. on windows it requires the new Microsoft WSL (Windows System for Linux), which allows to run an Ubuntu inside Windows, so the script takes the same approach, cross compiling with mingw-w64 gcc-7.4. > Do you have a guide on how to do > that? the README in the above link provides some info. however the full details are in the scripts themselves. regards, Liviu _______________________________________________ OpenOCD-devel mailing list OpenOCD-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openocd-devel
