So in other words, in a month minus 3 days: * The release engineer has expressed a desire (to do something that has already been attempted for 7 months and counting)
and * A couple of developers (Stefan, mainly) have, at least, fixed a couple dozen warnings (thank you!) So: * No Libgcc has been imported into the tree yet (to solve some of the linker errors) as KJK has suggested he will do * No additional attempts/efforts (expressing a desire/want does not count as effort) have been made to recompile Mingw32-gcc-4.4 as Dmitry does. * Two months after Aleksey promised me that "he will write something about this", I still don't see any e-mail regarding GCC 4.4 (ie: I was bullshitted to). I think more effort needs to be put into this, honestly. Daniel, on the log: 1) Could you please separate trunk vs rosapps/rostests errors? 2) "In file included from modules\rosapps\applications\net\ncftp\sio\SClose.c:1: modules\rosapps\applications\net\ncftp\sio\/syshdrs.h:36:1: warning: "strncasecmp" redefined" is spamming half the log -- the actual error is only one (and pretty easy to fix, but that's another story), so I suggest you remove the 50 duplicate entries. 3) There used to be errors related to PSEH2 and executable stack -- have those been fixed or...?
