My primary goals for this release (largely just an update/bugfixes) are that it build/work on Linux (my platform), MinGW, and Cygwin. I spent some time this weekend rummaging around the sources attempting to get this stuff working. Here's a little status report on my progress. Linux: builds and runs okay. Found a memory corruption bug in the register window (affects all hosts). Needs to be fixed before release. MinGW: Had patches lying around to get build working, but I forgot. So I re-invented the wheel. No big deal. I will check these in. There is, however, a startup problem with libgui on this platform. It complains about being unable to find pkgIndex.tcl. Hopefully, not too painful to fix. Cygwin: This is the nightmare. Tcl et al are completely broken. Instead of using my ancient Windows 2000 box, I have installed a VM on my linux box and put a modern Windows installation in there. Now I see all the problems that people have reported throughout the years that I could never reproduce! Example: conflicts with winsock & Cygwin's posix layer. Ouch. Currently, this is the only platform for which I do not have a working build. I hope over the next few weeks, leading up to the GDB 7.4 release, to get these problems resolved. If you'd like to help (especially with Cygwin!), please let me know. If anyone has any other peeves or important bugs, please also let me know, and I will try to address them before this next release. Keith
