Speaking for myself, that's true -- I'm not really working on HEAD ATM, but I do have a number of things that should go into HEAD once I'm ready -- i.e a month or two ago I got GMP working for bignums. If we can decide how to handle the licensing, those changes can go in. In any case, now that various issues in my real-life have settled down. I'm now starting back up work on the release, FWIW. I'd like to give you a schedule, but I can't yet. However, I should have a new status update posted in less than a week. > Also, my friend Jan submitted a patch for building GUILE crosscompiled > to a cygwin target, > > http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/guile-devel/2002-February/004562.html > > which was met with > >>Thanks very much.

I will look back at this patch.

Wow, that's annoying -- do you know if this is an arch dependency, OS dependency, etc? -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org, @linuxdevel.com, and @debian.org Previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG=1C58 8B2C FB5E 3F64 EA5C 64AE 78FE E5FE F0CB A0AD _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
