Re: [ROOT] Problem with the new win32gcc target

Hi Damir,

What you observe is correct. To build h2root, g2root, you need
a version of CERNLIB compiled with gcc/g77. You cannot use the version
compiled with MS fortran. This requires a bit more work.

The win32gcc is a very interesting option (thanks Axel).
It is nearly compatible with Linux (you can use gcc3.2, X11, etc).
On my laptop, I have a dual boot system (thanks Fons) with Linux
and Windows/XP with CYGWIN/gcc. I can run all the options
 -native win32
 -native win32gdk
 -cygwin/gcc3.2

 I see that all ROOT benchmarks using gcc3.2 run at the same speed as
 on native Linux. The I/O benchmarks like stress run much better (nearly
 a factor 2!) than under MS win32. I am currently running more tests
 to understand why.

 This option looks potentially attractive because it has the advantages
 of Linux and Windows combined in an efficient way.
