On win32, is there any reason for still supporting MSVC6 instead of switching to MinGW and/or Cygwin?
Some people have expressed desire to use MSVC, but no one has done the work, so... Personally, I only support MinGW, but I haven't removed any of the MSVC support.
What exactly do you mean with "no one has done the work"? I have been using MSVC 6, since i'm working with PD and i'm still using it, plus, Miller's makefiles for Windows have always been based on MSVC 6. Maybe i don't get it, but what's the point about removing support for that compiler? Of course, i'm not talking about DD.
I mean pure-data/externals, I guess. only like 30-40% of those compile with MSVC AFAIK.
