Re: [Gcl-devel] Re: GCL produces wrong EOL on mingw

[Mike Thomas]

Hi everyone.

I am not getting these file name errors with CVS Maxima and stable CVS 
ANSI GCL.  If someone can show me how to reproduce it on W2000 or XP I 
can have a look.

Are they related to the CLtL1 build or a particular OS?  Is anyone 
getting them now?

The only serious bug I can report at present is the ANSI test crash 
which I have tried to isolate a couple of times including this morning 
without success.  I'm happy to ignore it for 2.6.2 unless someone can 
find a quick fix, especially as the HEAD branch exhibits different, less 
severe, problems in the test.

As to whether it is related to CT/LF issues , who would know.  I would 
expect it to be one off instead of two.

On Monday I intend checking in the changes made during the installer 
saga, putting out a test package and then crossing my fingers for a 
merciful end to 2.6.2.

Cheers

Mike Thomas.
