Re: 32bit GS on 64bit Win rebuild base from src

[Giah de Barag]

I am still confused and trying to understand the
variables / scripts / dependencies / repository
locations:

System: MSYS vs MSYS2

  Riccardo mentioned that MSYS is known and works. Adam
  & Seong-Gu like MSYS2. It is more like (Arch) Linux,
  has a standard package manager, pacman, and has lots
  more packages than MSYS. I stopped MSYS and started
  with MSYS2.

Architecture: 32 vs 64

  Richard and Seong-Gu indicate 64 is working (runtime

  errors in gui). Does base pass all its tests? Do

  objc2, blocks, and GCD work? Did anybody build 32 and

  64 side-by-side, each in its respective path on

  MSYS2? Was the choice of compilers and libs and flags

  different between 64 and 32?

Compiler: gcc vs clang

  Still a tad bit confused here. I understand latest
  gcc supports blocks. Should I do (a) or (b):
    (a) (i) clang for libdispatch and libobjc2
        (ii) gcc for everything else?
    (b) clang for everything?

libdispatch from Nick Hutchinson's repo

which branch?
  https://github.com/nickhutchinson/libdispatch/tags/v0.1.3.1
  https://github.com/nickhutchinson/libdispatch/trunk

libobjc2 from David Chisnall's repo

which branch?
  https://github.com/gnustep/libobjc2/tags/v1.8
  https://github.com/gnustep/libobjc2/tags/v1.8.1
  https://github.com/gnustep/libobjc2/trunk

Here is what I am thinking:

System: MSYS2
Architecture: 64
Compiler:
  clang: libdispatch + libobjc2
  gcc (or clang, not sure?): everything else
libdispatch:
  https://github.com/nickhutchinson/libdispatch/tags/v0.1.3.1
  (or trunk, not sure?)

libobjc2:
  https://github.com/gnustep/libobjc2/tags/v1.8.1
  (or trunk, not sure?)

Richard + Seong-Gu: How does that compare to what you are doing?

Kind regards.
