That's debatable. James Yonan is using MSVC for the OpenVPN AS client, and has indicated that he wanted that. I don't know much more than this, but it might be related to his concerns about the old mingw32 tool chain not being too well maintained. I know that's not an issue with the mingw64 stuff. However, currently the official tool chain is MSVC for Windows builds. All other platforms uses the autotools toolchain. We can surely discuss if this is the right discussion, but that's a discussion where James will have the final word. - From my perspective, the less toolchains we need to care about, the better. But we are not in a position where we can overrule James' decisions, especially not without involving him in the discussion. kind regards, David Sommerseth -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk9gYIYACgkQDC186MBRfrrm0QCgnIAV0X9WAhA/wua6DkOiSmYE ArQAn0hFewauJl03whMG+tsGixKy1fTh =nap7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
