Re: Building GNUstep for Windows using Clang

Johannes,

Sorry for the confusion, but MailTrack is a service I pay for so I can
verify that clients are actually reading my email.  It's not tracking by
google.  It's tracking by me.  Occasionally I accidentally leave it on when
I send to this list.

I hope that solves the moral dilemma.   From now on I will make sure it is
off prior to mailing to the list.

Thank you for that hint. Good question. Just seems to be a plugin to 
Gmail? If it could be disabled I’d be happy (still knowing using Gmail 
includes some serious flaws, but most of them do not apply for a public 
mailing list.)

[still OT:] Where does it say that The Mail Track Company, S.L. is
owned by Google?

using gmail converts this link to one tracked by Google using

I never started this because.. it yields a not totally stable result 
and it is not very reproducible from computer to computer, it is very 
strange.


I propose a wiki page. Then two sub-sections for the different 
compiler & runtimes.




since several people asked about it, I will collect and share my work here:

I am quite used to being roasted. :/
