These options are autoconf-generated and unused by Binutils. Not only do
they not do anything useful, but worse, they cause incorrect Binutils
builds. Plugins, which are supposed to be dynamically-loaded, instead
become useless, static archives.
Fixes#13.
Sets the baseline to circa 2000, and specifically takes advantage of
SSE2. GFortran in particular generates far better code when at least
SSE2 is available, rather than relying entirely on x87.
When this manifest present, ctags.exe is no longer a valid executable on
Windows XP. Since this manifest doesn't do anything useful anyway, just
remove it.
The "releases" section needs emphasis since GitHub doesn't give it good
visiblitiy, and lots of people seem to miss it. Also, in the time since
w64devkit came about, Mingw-w64 itself and other distributions have
improved, picking up features once unique to w64devkit. The previous
claims are less strong now.
There is no benefit to downloading the tarballs within the container
using curl, especially since it doesn't have access to host certificates
and such.
* New programs: bc, crc32, free, nproc, sync, uptime
* Add Bash-style process substitution (i.e. <(...)) to the shell
* Improve shell stability
* ANSI escape support for printf
The 002 patch must be removed on the next update since it will already
be included.
This upgrade includes a patch that fixes a bug introduced at the last
minute on the upstream 2.37 branch. I submitted this patch upstream so
hopefully it will be fixed in a future release. If so, the patch should
be removed from w64devkit.
Due to GCC's upside-down configuration, the desired build options were
not being actually being applied to the cross-compiler itself. This fix
shaves another 7MB off the distribution zip.
Discovering all commands in PATH is painfully expensive (typically
several seconds) on Windows where file access is slow, so don't do it.
Worse, due to an alt-tab handling bug in the Windows console it's very
easy to activate this completion by accident.
This patch makes the BusyBox shell much more ergonomic for alt-tab heavy
workflows on Windows.
There's a regression in FRP-3902-g61e53aa93 that causes line editing to
get into a bad state and accumlate garbage characters. This release is
not in a usable condition, so revert to the previous release.
This introduces four new programs: bc, free, nproc, uptime. It also
significantly improves ANSI escape support for printf.
The SHELL=dash is a workaround for a bug in GNU Make. A patch has been
submitted upstream, so hopefully this can be removed later. The patch:
