Greetings,
Here's where we are with beta 19.
All source changes are in. Sergey's pexecute.c patch may or may not
be included depending on timing and assignment status. It is in the
alpha b19 I'm putting together now but -pipe doesn't work right in
Win 95.
Still to do:
1) InstallShield installer. I'm waiting on background advertisement
gifs from Marketing.
2) Completing docs in winsup/doc. It would be nice to describe the
dll data copy change and anything else that's missing.
3) Build less/ncurses/man natively since they can't be cross-built
and include them??? Alternatively, they could go into a tarball people
can make available later. Do the tools have to be in binary mode for
less to work correctly?
So things are looking pretty good...
Later today, you may want to grab from /private/noer/winsup-experimental:
devo.tar.bz2 -- semi-final comp tools sources
user-tools.tar.bz2 -- semi-final user tools sources
win32native-opt-980213.tar.bz
-- binaries with optimization/debugging
Note that I upgraded fileutils and tar since the last snapshot
I gave you.
