Fwd: [HEADSUP] Phasing out old Windows versions and 32 bit support
Hi all,
Looks like we need to get building AOO41X for Windows on Cygwin64 or get
out AOO42X.
Whatever comes first... ;-)

Matthias

Now sending it to cygwin-announce, too, to reach more people. Please
reply on the cygwin mailing list if you have any concerns or comments]
Hi folks,
The upcoming version 3.3.0 is the last version officially supporting
Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
The next major release 3.4.0 will be released in 2022 and will be the
last one officially supporting Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008
R2, and Windows Server 2012.
We're also planning to drop Support for the 32 bit release of Cygwin in
2022, thus Cygwin 3.4.0 won't come in 32 bit anymore, and the package
maintainers won't have to update 32 bit packages anymore. If you're
still running Cygwin under WOW64, consider to move to 64 bit in the next
couple of months.
Corinna

Great!
Then my next AOO41X Test Build will be with the latest Cygwin.
AOO42X is already there:

Yes, I did that just yesterday. Once in a while gawk gets updated... ;-)

Well, I updated the whole Cygwin distribution in fact; I am using
3.3.1-1. As I wrote above, it is working well.
Only caveat: as gawk gets updated, I had to reinstall /usr/bin/awk as
a copy instead of a symlink. AOO's configure script promptly pointed
out the problem.

Hi all,
one positive effect of Cygwin 3.3.0 seems to be that I can build with
threads again!
That saves me a lot of hours. I am building AOO42X right now...
@Arrigo: Can you try AOO41X?

Of course that would be better, but then we should start to fix the
years old release blocker.
I am +1 for releasing 4.2.0 when it is ready.

It will be the last version supported for 32-bit. Of course we can build
as along as it breaks... ;-)

Hi Matthias
Not wanting to disregard Damjan's effort, wouldn't it be better if people who can fix issues would focus on 4.2.x?
I assume Cygwin 3.3.0 will be supported for some time, so we should use that time to focus on 4.2.x?

Hi all,
Cygwin 3.3.0 will be available soon and it will be the last 32-bit
version we can build AOO41X with.
I remember, that Damjan longer ago posted a list of commits to make
AOO41X buildable with Cygwin64.
Can we have a look at it?

Matthias

Hi Pedro,
This is not about a 64-bit version of AOO but about building AOO with
Cygwin 64-bit.
AOO41x needs Cygwin32 at the moment, trunk/AOO42X are already built with
Cygwin64.

Matthias

Hi Matthias
I agree. Providing 64-bit Windows binaries must be the #1 priority for this Project (not because they are needed or better than the 32-bit builds but because they will not be supported by the compilers or the OS)
This will also solve the problem of having to suggest the installation of a 32-bit Java (which is also becoming unsupported)

> The upcoming version 3.3.0 is the last version officially supporting

> The next major release 3.4.0 will be released in 2022 and will be the

> R2, and Windows Server 2012.

> We're also planning to drop Support for the 32 bit release of Cygwin in
> 2022, thus Cygwin 3.4.0 won't come in 32 bit anymore, and the package
> maintainers won't have to update 32 bit packages anymore. If you're
> still running Cygwin under WOW64, consider to move to 64 bit in the next
> couple of months.
