Re: [Bug-gnubg] Win builds using gcc4: question

[Jonathan Kinsey]

I'll answer although I don't know much about gcc4, so this might not be 100%...

gcc4 is a big change (under the hood) from gcc3 with the optimisation logic
totally rewritten. Make sure you try and build with full optimisation set (-O3
I guess).

The new sigmoid version uses SSE4 I think, which is supported in gcc4, this code
isn't checked in yet.

I think you are a bit confused about mixing gcc3 and 4 (or you've confused me),
we only build the one .exe and either compiler will work fine with the existing
gtk dlls.
