The mingw builds that you run have caught quite a few commits with unexpected side effects (header files not right for windows, and such stuff) - so they are definitely useful. Occasionaly, they catch "building environment bugs", which is annoying, but easier than setting up windows build environments... What is missing with the cross-builds is to be able to *run* the binary to do full-binary tests (and, obviously, unit tests also do not work with cross-built stuff). So it's not as good as automated local builds with test suite, but until we can have that for windows, I'm happy with mingw=20 cross-builds and automatically uploaded snapshots for all commits :-) gert --=20 USENET is *not* the non-clickable part of WWW! //www.muc.de/~ge= rt/ Gert Doering - Munich, Germany gert@...1296... fax: +49-89-35655025 gert@...1297... --qH9EWZvTrPNMSL/V Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQCVAwUBV1aEa6kuBuNlUUl1AQJHugQAt4KdVgrjIUkyNrQvD4fc8qp/Gl2672N0 BT9Uyv/qNPyENWSuU4UfCTRr+DOebSodeKuv7mAXTH1Fjyz+G3Ly5VdvQ6p6qE6/ ifEzomIfjP3srQn8K63k4P5OtT+qNcjxNe4olEh7vu9pwoZW7tfHNZdCyl6Tcfx9 BBqhe6dklUI= =DXZ6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --qH9EWZvTrPNMSL/V--
