Hi Raju,

You can find a lot of informations in the crossgcc FAQ at :
http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC/

Good chance !!

In the future, please search the mailing list first. This and many
other questions are answered there.

See http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/ for howto
on building cross-compiler for cygwin.

MFC VC++ mail list? (no spam intended)

[David Young]

hey there,

cygwin is great. However, I also need to do MFC and VC++.
Does anyone know of a mail list to ask questions for that technology?

Also, last I checked the egcs compiler produced vtables and/or mangled names  
differently than VC++ (excluding decl type issues). Does anyone know if that  
is still true? i.e.: can I mix and match C++ classes w/ virtual functions  
defined while using dlls generated with egcs and MS VC++?

Your knowledgeable answers are appreciated.

Thanks A Bunch! David Young; VVI-DCS

I'm sure Microsoft provides many different forums for this. Look at 
their website. This is definitely not the right place.

As you note, VC++ and G++ use different vtable layout, and the chances of
these two being compatible anytime in the near future is infinitesimally
small. You could ask Microsoft to provide a G++ compatible vtable layout.
They're supposed to be good at listening to customers ;-)

You cannot mix VC++ with GCC, Sorry.

The hope in the near term is to use COM objects and that should work. The
work on GCC to support COM objects from C++ is being worked on right now.
The other (non)solution is to use "C" linkage, but that pretty much defeats
the purpose of using C++.

Mumit
