Good to see the happen. Unfortunate that it took so long. Nice quotes: "The development suite includes a GNU compiler, linker and assembler utilities within the Trolltech Qt(r) Designer, the CodeWarrior Debugger for ARM(r) architectures, and the Cygwin(tm) environment, which is compatible with the Linux OS and is hosted on the Windows OS." and: "- Ability to use GNU compiler, linker and assembler utilities within the Cygwin(tm) environment, which is based on the Linux OS and is hosted on Windows 98/NT/2000/XP." Which are both false of course. Cygwin has nothing to do with Linux or even the "Linux OS". It does not use the linux kernel and does not use the Linux standard C library glibc. This is akin to saying Linux is based on the SCO OS. oops. somebody did say that didn't they? Furthermore we read: "Our tools for Sharp Zaurus were designed by Linux developers for Linux developers." said Berardino Baratta Metrowerks chief technical officer and head of the Metrowerks Linux Solutions Group. Seems odd to me that a tool written by "Linux developers for Linux developers" would only run under Windows. Maybe that's just me. -- Tim Riker - http://rikers.org/ - [email protected] Linux Technologist - [email protected] - http://www.TI.com/ BZFlag maintainer - http://BZFlag.org/ - for fun!
