[ros-dev] RosBE 1.5 Release Candidates

[Colin Finck]

Hello everybody,

After some more updates, fixes and strange problems, Daniel and I finally
released new RCs of RosBE-Windows and RosBE-Unix 1.5.

Daniel published a changelog for the Windows version at
http://dreimer.de.vu.
The Unix version fixes building problems on many hosts, especially 64-bit
ones. Like RosBE-Windows, it also includes updated tools such as GCC 4.4.3.
Besides, all supplied libraries are guaranteed to contain STABS+ symbols
useful for debugging with e.g. GDB. Finally, make/makex now reports the
correct return value instead of always 0 :-)

You can download RosBE-Windows 1.5-RC4 and RosBE-Unix 1.5-RC2 at
http://reactos.colinfinck.de.
Please test out both of them using the latest code patch at
http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4810, so that we can move to
RosBE 1.5 and GCC 4.4.x soon.
For the Unix version, I'm especially looking for testers using non-Linux
operating systems such as Mac OS X or FreeBSD. Current RosBE works well on
them, but the previous RC made problems.

Best regards,

Colin
