Re: [Mingw-w64-public] abort() crashing for -Wl,-subsystem,windows

2013-01-16 Thread Kai Tietz
Hi, I just tested your report with my toolchain - I am using 4.8 with mingw-w64's trunk version- and I have to admit that I don't see any of those issues on my Windows 8 box. So first question is, what compiler-version, what mingw-w64 version you are using? Kai 2013/1/16 Koehne Kai : > Hi, > >

Thanks Koehne Kai, your explanation really clear things up. I will follow your methodology, and when the time comes, I will switch to MinGW-64 compiler. So, for now, MinGW-32 is good enough. Have a wonderful day!! -Original Message- From: Koehne Kai Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 3:4

[Mingw-w64-public] Windows-hosted Mingw-w64

2013-01-16 Thread Michail
Hi, I see that there are no automated Mingw-w64 windows-hosted builds (i.e. with -mingw- in the middle) after December 2011. Is there a reason for that or I am missing something trivial? Does that mean that windows host is no longer supported, or just no one uses it?
