In fact the GCC suite _is_ available to anyone (contrary to say PureC or Lattice C). The GCC is even available for free. I know you have to get enough RAM and disk space but if you got the hardware then it is possible to check out the CVS and build the binaries. I managed to do that so others could do that as well - perhaps with bit of help from the community. Of course that when too many people start asking for GCC help it's easier to provide the binaries (semi-)automatically. > That's why a binary snapshot of your work is really required ! It's not *required* (you can't require anything from a volunteer) but it would be useful for faster and better user feedback that in turn could speed up the development. > That can't wait for the irregular freeMiNT's kernel release ... > Your work can't be only available to a happy fews ! I happen to know Francois from ARAnyM list and so I believe that you can't read this the way it might sound (offending? :). Petr
