Robert: Can you confirm this, and approve me to delete it from ini.cc ?


Well, fprintf *is* used in setup. The fprintf in ini.cc is used to pop
fprintf(stderr, ...) into a messagebox.

And, fprintf (stderr, ...) is used in setup.

Ergo, this will be a problem when the next mingw-runtime comes out.

Danny, if you have a patch for either mingw or setup, that'd be great.
Does what you are suggesting impose any limitations on setup ?


There would be no limitation to setup, it would just be slightly slower in performance.


To build a snap release of mingw-runtime, just issue ``make snapshot'' in the winsup/mingw build directory and a snapshot tarball will be created.

Earnie.
