How is it weaker? I've just started running it on windows this week. Needs to run under MinGw, but other than that I'm not aware of any probs. Am just starting on it though, so it would be interesting to know.
- eslaught 13y agoI don't know if this is still true, but at one point in time you needed to have installed the exact same version of MinGW that Rust itself was compiled with. That meant, for example, that you couldn't rebuild Rust with a newer version of MinGW. Also, and this isn't really a Rust problem so much as an LLVM one, I believe exception handling was broken on Windows for some time. Presumably this is fixed now, but I haven't actually checked recently.
- bjz_ 13y agoOh really? That's great! To be honest I don't follow the Windows situation too closely, as I work on OSX. So things might have improved.
