I had a quick read of the license and it's nothing special , so mingw64 users probably wont have an objection , but I can imagine other (linux users for example)people who will object to downloading a package which contains some parts which have a "commercial" license even though they won't be u

As for the maintenance burden for mingw64 , it's been zero , the current mingw64 compilers are broken , and the redc_2 include gmp.h rather than mpir.h wouldn't be picked up in linux builds as all distributions of linux have gmp.h in the path , I would of picked it up on mingw64 if at the time I

Hm , I just assumed yasm supported masm but it's nasm . What we need is a masm compatible free/open source program that I can get to work under mingw64 then. Getting it to work under mingw64 should be easy.We can get rid of yasm and use gas under linux and masm under msvc and this new ?asm?

That sounds like it might be a good plan. But I do want to make sure I can build MPIR on MinGW64 without MASM, as I currently don't seem to have a copy and there are no free alternatives (though the Yasm format isn't that dissimilar, as you say). Bill. On 9 June 2012 17:53, Jason Moxham wrote: >

What I'm saying that if msvc wants to go the masm route then I'm sure I can get mingw64 to work with those source files , we would of course need the path in mingw64 to specify where masm was , or perhaps if we keep the masm macros simple (like we do anyway) then even the current mingw64 yasm wi

Hi On Linux/cygwin/mingw32 we currently use both yasm and gas to build assembler files , yasm to build intel format and gas to build AT&T format , I also got some patches so we can use either always yasm or always gas without any changes to the source files , so we could get rid of yasm or not
