For whatever it's worth, here's my internal MinGW ToDo list (written so only
I can understand it) with items in no particular order of importance.
(This doesn't mean that I want to do these myself, just that I'm interested in
seeing these get done.)
- install.texi
- check _Jv_WinStrError
- accented characters
- findCallerClass()
- console flashing
- close_on_exec()
- swt.dll, gcj.dll
- diff POSIX stuff & Win32 stuff (i.e EINTR)
- stacktraces ugly
I'm first working on getting the native compiler to work, though. :(
I'm having better luck with gdb. I suppose it helps to not set
LDFLAGS='-s' before building (slaps head with palm of hand).
