I managed to trash my mingw build environment -> uninstalled /removed mingw/mingsys -> reinstall from current mingw-installer -> bad idea
I can build a pharo windows vm but it immediately crashes on startup. I suspect some changes between gcc 4.6 (old environment) gcc 4.8 (new environment). (I think there are some changes related to file globbing (I managed to get the vm somehow working to not crash on startup but on shutdown instead - with _CRT_glob = 0. And gcc-4.8 uses dfferent (dwarf vs. sjlj ) exception handling, don't know if this is related). I tried to find a ming-installer for the old version but could not find anything and I tried to manually setup a ming installation from the old packages (dozen of packages for mingw / core-utils / bintutils /msys from different places (no fun)). 1) did anyone get a windows vm from mingws current version (with gcc 4.8) working? 2) can someone package/zip and upload an old mingw installation (maybe that one that is used on the build server? regards nicolai
