Re: [Inkscape-devel] inkscape - regular win builds
Hi again, all.
I don't know if anyone noticed, but Mingw.org recently released the gcc 4.4.0 suite as a single bundle (you still need mingw-runtime and win32api). There were a couple of issues with how they package the stdc++ libs, but once that is fixed, it will be a great improvement to our builds.
The big thing is that mingw will start using Dwarf2 exception handling by default (we jumped the gun a bit in switching to dw2). So we will be able to share our c++ libs with other projects now, such as Fedora-mingw.
Also, Mingw has a new project, mingw-get, which is their version of a package and dependency manager. How cool is that? Something we have wanted for a long time. Wish them luck on that project.

Hey guys!
James Turnbull can help out with regular windows builds of inkscape.
Bob says he needs an account on Modevia so he can post 'em somewhere useful...
Hoping that by emailing all of you, you might be able to get the right people in touch with each other to help get this sorted!
:)
cheers Donna
Hi Bob,
This is good news :) updating my copy of mingw now :) I read that modules are now built with shared libgcc per default, does this mean that we now can catch exceptions like "Gtk::PixbufError" in Windows?
Ciao, Johan

I haven't been able to play with it yet. But yes, I believe that the cross-DLL exception handling problem will be fixed.
