Re: mingw-w64 support for MSVCRT in F41

I've looked at the RPM spec file for mingw-crt in Fedora 41 and now believe the build-time configuration is incorrect. I've raised a bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2314420 Cheers, Ron -- ___ test mailing list -- test@lists

Using GNOME Shell on Wayland in Fedora 41 with Hicolor icons: - GNOME Terminal displays the 'missing icon' icon instead of '+' and '-'. Using GNOME Shell Classic on Wayland in Fedora 41 with either Hicolor or Adwaita icons: - Icecat has the 'unknown app' icon in the Window List. (Actually,

mingw-w64 support for MSVCRT in F41

2024-09-22 Thread Ron Yorston
I've tried using the mingw-w64 toolchain to build a Windows application on Fedora 41. Following my usual practice I installed mingw64-gcc and used the x86_64-w64-mingw32 toolchain to cross-compile. I was disappointed to find that the resulting binary required UCRT. In fact, apart from timestamps

dnf shows no F23 updates

2015-09-29 Thread Ron Yorston
I installed the F23 beta last week when it first came out. There were 483MB of updates on 23rd September. I didn't use it again until today. I was expecting another bumper load of updates, GNOME 3.18 in particular. However, 'dnf update' and 'dnf --best update' both report there's nothing to do.

TC7 bootloader installation

2012-11-03 Thread Ron Yorston
I tried to install using the F18 Beta TC7 Live CD, but couldn't find any way to specify that the bootloader should go onto the root partition rather than the MBR. Is this possible? It used to be. I see someone has already raised a bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=87282

I've written a few extensions to make the GNOME Shell user experience a bit more like that of GNOME 2. Move the clock towards the right of the panel; Place launchers for favourite applications on the panel; Replace the Activities button with an Applications menu; Disable dynamic wor
