- (I can only speak for the Turbo/Pure C stuff.)
-
- The problem with distributing mntlib binaries for Turbo/Pure C is that these
- binaries have the math library of the compiler linked in which is
- copyright Borland/Pure Software. That means that the binaries are NOT free
- while the source code is.
-
- It should be faily easy to make and distribute a version of the binaries
- without the math stuff, and let the user link the math library into mntlib.
- However, I haven't had yet the time to set up project files for this etc.
- Also, you are the first one who demands on this.
-
- As there seems to be interest for a compiled version of mntlib for Turbo/Pure,
- I'll provide one soon (at least for the next mntlib patchlevel).
