As far as I see, msys-autoconf did not have specific msys patches. Only some patches from Debian, which were dropped by Debian in version 2.69. So I think that the packages I made are good for building msys programs. Perhaps there is more need to update the mingw32- autotools, but I don't have the time to do all that. I plan to work on ncurses packages soon. regards, -- Erwin Waterlander http://waterlan.home.xs4all.nl/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
