Re: cygwin, emacs, mozilla
I am amazed that, considering the warm fuzzy loving relationship between Microsoft and Netscape/Mozilla, they continue to use VC. I would expect them to lean over backwards to move over to gcc. They are indeed, but converting the big build process from VC to gcc is not so easy an operation ^_^ http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134113 BTW: of course they would like some help ;-) -- Lapo 'Raist' Luchini [EMAIL PROTECTED] (PGP X.509 keys available) http://www.lapo.it (ICQ UIN: 529796) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Maybe they need Cygwin. ;-) Larry Original Message: - From: Lapo Luchini [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2002 08:59:19 +0200 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: cygwin, emacs, mozilla I am amazed that, considering the warm fuzzy loving relationship between Microsoft and Netscape/Mozilla, they continue to use VC.

In fact, getting Evolution and Mozilla working under XFree86/Cygwin would be two worth while efforts. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
