Fwd: libgc bug when using Gnu C nested functions
Years ago I became maintainer of libgc only in order to get w3m working. And unfortunately I have not kept it current with the upstream libgc. Several newer versions back it was causing w3m to throw errors in my dev environment so I didn't proceed at that time. I'll either attempt to upgrade or seek a new maintainer, which might take a bit of time, my apologies! Bob Great, thanks. I'm glad to know it's not a mystery, because I imagine it would would have been quite a big one! I've found a mostly reasonable alternative to using glibc for now, so no hurry. --Glyn Hi cygwin-apps, Is anyone interested in taking over as maintainer of libgc and w3m? libgc used cygports for its current version, w3m used g-b-s. I suspect the libgc problem alluded to above (from the cygwin mailing list) is just a version issue but I'm not sure. I haven't been able to use cygports successfully but that's more a problem with my understanding of cygports than any specific libgc issues. Bob
