There are actually two issues there. One was the licensing issue for FTDI's D2XX library, which makes distros on Windows be awkward ... they've can't use that code. That's the issue referenced in the URL above. The other is that we really don't have a team of folk set up to build for different Linux distros, BSDs, MacOS, Windows, etc; and IMO, we shouldn't. There *are* teams of folk set up to build for those ... e.g. the Fedora project builds regularly, so do Debian, Ubuntu, SuSE, and so forth. What we *can* do is focus on getting a sane source release out, which other folk can build. And it's mostly not going to be a problem. (Modulo bad last-minute patches.) - Dave _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
