Sorry, I should have consulted my english-to-finnish dictionary... This word seems to mean something related to trademarks and such... Seeing only it being used when talking about 'specific to a target'-stuff may mislead one to think it meaning something not very strong. God save our children following the South Park and learning their english from it... What I meaned to say was that DJGPP2 has its own target-specific C-library, which AFAIK, no other target uses, and with DJGPP2 none of the available free C-libraries like newlib and glibc cannot be used straight from their boxes... So it is comparable to the Solaris2, Cygwin, Mingw, HP-UX, AIX etc. libraries which are normally used as prebuilt in crosscompiler builds... Instead of using more words as previously, using the word 'proprietary' (with quotes) to mean all this was much easier... Again, as a non-english speaking, I really didn't know what it really meaned... It may however be worse when we Finns talk english, one can happily say "our hope is that you could leave in piss!", not "...live in peace!". This said by out foreign minister to the colleague in another country may then cause some very bad misunderstandings ;-) Of course the DJGPP2-library sources are available and one can recompile them for one's own CPU, Athlon, Pentium4, K6 etc. if the prebuilt stuff is 'wrong'... If one uses the novice cross-GCC builders as models, doing this is more than expected, these people seem to hate all prebuilt stuff and always want to build their newlibs and glibcs from sources without ever touching any prebuilt ugly stuff ;-) Cheers, Kai ------ Want more information?
