EGCS-1.1.2

EGCS-1.1.2

[STAFFAN RINGBOM]

Dear developers,

I've just downloaded egcs-1.1.2. for win95
(with mingw32)

Problems:
1. NO libm !!!
  That means that those programs that used
  to run with the compiling switch -lm is not compiled!!!!
  Found a meaningless libm.a !<archive>.
  (The DJGPP compiler has libm!)
  Use frequently some of the functions included in 
  gcc:s math.h as "external C". 
Q: Are you workning on the port of libm to egcs.
   If not is it easily avalilable for egcs for win32 from any
   other source??

libm.a isn't needed on mingw32. Be sure to not delete the stub
you have. My one contains only this:
!<arch>
but i think i read something, that an empty one would do it, too.
It must be present to allow the -lm switch, but the functions
are exported by other libs. (libc?)

libm.a has nothing to do with the compiler itself. It's a system
library, your os should provide. So the egcs-team won't provide
any libm.a. (mingw32 does and provides a lot of other libs, 
which were converted from the MS versions somehow, i think.)

Bye,
Martin.

Somehow the dummy libm.a is corrupted (some of the unizp programs have
a nasty tendency of trying to guess text vs binary and screws up files).

For now, you can do the following:
  
  $ cd /egcs-1.1.2/i386-mingw32/lib
  $ rm libm.a
  $ ar crv libm.a
  $ ranlib libm.a

I usually include a dummy.c file with a static dummy integer in it,
but that's not required.

No need. All the math libraries are already included via the import
library (crtdll or msvcrt).

egcs-1.1.2

[Jeffrey A Law]

I put egcs-1.1.2 on the ftp server late last night.  About half of the
50 or so mirrors have picked up the code.

The ftp server allows unlimited connections from our mirror sites, but 
(short term) allows only a few non-mirror ftp connections.  

Hopefully the bulk of the outstanding mirror sites will pick up the code
tonight.

jeff

ps.  Even with the limits on non-mirror ftp access, the full egcs-1.1.2
distribution has been downloaded nearly 300 times today.

Argh!! Haven't those people heard of patch?! *sigh* No wonder the internet
sucks.

Isn't there a patch from 1.1.2-pre3 somewhere ? Just to give a simple way
for people to check what changed in between...

Look in the prerelease directory.  It's been there since the 1.1.2 tarballs
where added to the release directory.
