Subject: [Bug build/26607] GDB build failure in gnulib if building on Windows version older than 8
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2020 15:23:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-26607-4717-ybiTKvud6b@http.sourceware.org/bugzilla/> (raw)

--- Comment #2 from Joel Brobecker <brobecker at gnat dot com> ---
For reference, the following page at Microsoft web page, current as of Aug
2020,
says the following:

  - Windows 7 end of mainstream support: Jan 2015
  - Windows 7 end of extended support: Jan 2020

... and ...

  - Windows 8.1 end of mainstream support: Jan 2018
  - Windows 8.1 end of extended support: Jan 2023

For Vista, the following page confirms Vista (extended?) supported was ended:

  Apr 2017

Members of the gnulib community might find it hard to spend energy on this
issue, and this may also affect the GDB community's stance on the minimum
requirement in terms of Windows version to build it.
