-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Ralf Wildenhues on 3/24/2008 10:51 AM: | Here's some more data. I installed MinGW's m4-1.4.7 which works fine. | It has this diff over vanilla GNU m4-1.4.7. It may have one other difference, not shown in the diff. I know that on cygwin, you can link any program with binmode.o, textmode.o, or automode.o (provided alongside crt0.o) to force O_BINARY, O_TEXT, or input in O_TEXT output in O_BINARY. Perhaps part of what makes Chuck's prebuilt m4 special is that he pulled in one of these extra platform .o files during the link phase to change the default mode of stdin/stdout and default behavior of fopen from what you get in a vanilla build. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
