Updated packages available (wave 6)

I've uploaded several new MSYS and MinGW packages to sourceforge. As
always, MSYS packages should be unpacked under / (that is, C:\msys\1.0) and MinGW packages should be unpacked under /mingw (that is, C:\MinGW) As usual, you'll find the new packages at the FRS https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/ in the following folders: MSYS popt 1.15 (new - needed by cygutils) MSYS cygutils 1.3.4 (new; partially supplants existing lpr, mingw-utils-0.3) MinGW popt 1.15 (new - needed by cygutils) MinGW cygutils 1.3.4 (new; partially supplants existing mingw-utils-0.3) MinGW pexports 0.44 (partially supplants pexports-0.43 in existing mingw-utils-0.3) MinGW gendef 1.0.46 (new) MSYS xz 4.999.9beta (xz-4.999.8beta_20090725git) MinGW xz 4.999.9beta (xz-4.999.8beta_20090725git) MSYS cygutils provides, among other things, a simple version of lpr (installed as lpr-basic.exe and as lpr.exe). This will serve as the "default" MSYS/MinGW implementation of lpr going forward, while the original lpr implementation, already part of the "Supplementary Tools", is under revision and will be provided in the future as "lpr-enhanced". MSYS cygutils also provides implementations of dos2unix and unix2dos (u2d, d2u) that supplant the u2d and d2u shell scripts installed by msysCORE, as well as the dos2unix and unix2dos executables provided by mingw-utils-0.3. These new versions are, obviously, MSYS-dependent. However, since the mingw-utils versions of unix2dos/dos2unix were NOT MSYS dependent, there is also a MinGW cygutils package. This package provides ONLY the line-ending conversion programs, not the lpr or other tools included in the MSYS cygutils. This way, users who relied on the dos2unix/unix2dos programs without having MSYS installed, can continue to do so. MinGW pexports and MinGW gendef both generate .def files for DLLs, which can then be used to create import libraries. They differ in how they determine the "decoration" (that is, calling convention) appropriate to each symbol -- since calling convention is ometimes not included in the exported symbol names in the DLL. pexports can use the C pre-processor, provided you have the correct header files, to determine the calling convention and stack usage of each symbol it finds in the DLL. gendef, from the MinGW64 team, locates the symbol's code in the DLL and uses a disassembler to determine that information. Neither is foolproof, and both have their uses. However, in particular, pexports has been updated (by Tor Lilqvist) relative to the old version in mingw-utils to work with both 32bit and 64bit DLLs. The MSYS xz and MinGW xz packages have been updated to the latest upstream release, to fix a critical upstream data corruption error. The new packages satisfy the latest MinGW/MSYS packaging standards, allowing a more granular installation in keeping with the "minimal" nature of MinGW/MSYS. See http://www.mingw.org/PackageIdentificationHOWTO for more information. However, until an installer capable of managing the granular selections is available (which will happen eventually), what we have is a whole lot of packages, which you the user have to download separately and manually unpack. So what should you install? Short version: *in general* if it has "-dll" or "-rtm" (runtime) in the name, you'll probably need it at some point, so download and install all of those. The -doc and -lic packages are obviously optional, as are -lang packages. So, what's next? For the repackaged DTK, only: lpr-enhanced (Keith is working on this) a revised, slimmed-down mingw-utils For msysCORE, there's really just [1] MSYS bash [2] MSYS coreutils [3] MSYS (cp)make [4] and, of course, msyscore-base Which Cesar has graciously consented to handle. -- Chuck P.S.
