- Subject: A few words on patchlevel 28 of the MiNT library...
-
- I removed xyzzy.cc and gnulib3.c from patchlevel 29, which you should
- have received by now.
-
- If you really think it's important, I can add it back. Bammi seemed
- to think having those in the libs was an awful idea, and I've received
- several complaints about it from people who don't have g++, and I
- myself spent a few hours building the cross compiler over again here
- on terminator just for that one stupid file...so I'd rather not.
-
- Couldn't you avoid the GPL just by making sure you don't use any
- GPL'ed code from g++.olb?

- >It probably wouldn't be hard to convert xyzzy.cc into a .s file;
- >just run it through gcc -S once.
-
- I had done this, with -O2 it needs #ifdefs only for -mbaserel, but I
- didn't want to have to maintain it.
-
- Maybe we need a minimalistic, public domain g++ library...but I'm not
- the right person to work on or maintain it, as I don't know much of
- anything about C++...
-
- cheers,
