New version of GLM package?

New version of GLM package?

[Carlo B.]

Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if it would be possible to release a newer version of
this package and also fixing this bug if it is possible:

https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-August/245945.html

Thank you very much for your time and your support.
Sincerely.

for what I can see upstream has completely removed the install
section from the cmake files on 0.9.9.8 .

unclear why they performed such issue.

I am reluctant to re-add that portion, without understanding the scope

Hi Hans,

I have impression debian is using such assumption and copy just the
files in the proper place.
It is annoying anyway.

The fact that the github repository seems to not have the "issues"
is another annoying problem of this package.

Marco

Hello,
perhaps, if copying the files by hand is too heavy as another user
said, it is possible to use version 0.9.9.5, as I had written here:

https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-August/245981.html

it is not the latest version, but it is surely much newer than 0.9.7:
you just need to change version number and remove the patch now
useless from glm.cygport.

Sincerely.

Thank you very much, the package has been updated and it is working fine for me.
Perhaps, while we are on the topic, it would be worth to update also
the packages for MinGW.

Sincerely.
