I'm prepared to work the problem as my time permits, but I assume you are going to get far less help with Cygwin debugging/development if you require a compiler that is not yet in the distribution. (I know you think you get next to no help now, and that this isn't a big issue for those that do contribute, but it still doesn't seem like a very good idea.) -- Brian Ford Staff Realtime Software Engineer VITAL - Visual Simulation Systems FlightSafety International the best safety device in any aircraft is a well-trained crew... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
