Re: [ros-general] a "POSIX" folder

Hi

I think its a mistake to tell us what our duty is - are you paying us? 
Can you not download the development tools whenever you want? Are they 
not linked to on our website?

What would the response be on the Linux kernel mailing list if you told 
them to start including GCC together with kernel releases?

Not only that but the POSIX enviroment such as MSYS and Cygwin are not
even needed to do ReactOS development. Sure I like them and if we ever
get parrelle makes working it would be be nice to do a make -j but
still MSYS or any other POSIX enviroment will never been "needed" for
ReactOS development.

Thanks
Steven

Effectively,  I'm not paying you and I will not. I probably used the 
wrong word for "duty".
But the question is behind having a NT compatible OS, do you intend to 
have the same policy as Microsoft: the user is just a consumer, he must 
not think. That's why most of the freesoftware OS are shipped with a 
compiler.

We get a little bit to far on this question. I'm sorry.

The basic question was how do you intend to integrate GNU or other 
freesoftware tools in reactos? If so you will need a sort of POSIX 
namespace.

You have done and you do a great job. I don't want to blame you. I will 
not be able to do 1%.  So bravo for your work.
