I have 3.3.3 / 3.3.4 ready for release, but there is some private business on my plate and I'm currently short of spare time therefore. I think I can finish the gcc-3.3.4 release this month. Then I'll take a look into building 3.4.x in August.

AFAICT everyone who has tried has been successful in building and testing the standard gcc-3.4.1 and 3.4.2 on cygwin, but shows well over 100 testsuite failures due to non-support of pch. At least 3 different people have posted the results on gcc-testsuite. I don't count problems such as my failure to build it in 32-bit mode on x64. C++ in my own current project doesn't build with 3.3.4, but is good with 3.4.x. I agree that my project is not important nor trendy enough to backport fixes to 3.3.x. According to testsuite, Java is slightly better in 3.4.x. I don't know that anyone has tackled the cygwin patches; inclusion of pch will no doubt make it much more time consuming. I haven't seen anyone post testsuite results for that mingw 3.4.0 version, so your evidence that mingw is ahead of cygwin is lacking.

RE: maintaner of gcc
And, -mno-cygwin does not work with Timidity, so I thought perhaps Gcc 3.4.1 might be better. There have been tons of fixes to the 3.4 series. I'll try and get back on the gcc maintainers list and work with gcc 3.5 to improve it even further for Cygwin and Windows. Gcc 3.3.1 will compile Timidity 2.13.0 and CVS, but I get problems with the mingw portion. Visual Studio complains, so I can't use it to make a GUI version of Timidity. GCC 3.4 is on my system, all I have to do is compile. But only with cygwin stuff. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sam Steingold Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 2:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Gerrit P.

Which version exactly? Is this also true for 3.3.4? How do you build the packages for the Cygwin release?
