Hi...

As already announced some days ago I will now start to submit the patches for GNUstep base/libobjc to be working natively on 64bit windows.

This first patch submitted (patch #6668) in savannah's patch manager covers the libobjc runtime. It is basically fixing gcc 4.4 warnings and only 2 slight modifications for dllimporing/exporting symbols due to some changes in binutils/windows dll loader...

So I hope this can easily be applied.

Some general words: Everything looks quite well at presents, thanks to the excellent work of the gnustep people over the last years for 64bit linux support. We already have the first code up and running natively on 64bit windows! The first patch for gnustep-base will be submitted soon. The basic things appear to work quite nice. Full testing will take some additional time.

There is some issue about length of unsigned and method signatures, but I will outline that in a seperate email.

It would be great of you if you could submit those patches also to the GCC mainline via http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/ so that both forks don't diverge even further.

Select "libobjc" as component in bugzilla (and be prepared for some follow up comments by others)
