[gps-users] Still Trying to Build on Fedora 8

[Gautier de Montmollin]

Well, as far as I can remember, the versions that came with the PCs I bought a few years ago didn't cost billions...
Agreed, MS software was not always worth its price (especially at the time it was rather crashy "alpha" versions and customers paid to test it).
On the other hand, now I can find good second-hand MS software, e.g. for 20 francs, on the "marché aux puces" nearby. The cost is a lot smaller than the time I would spend to try building GNAT or GPS on some systems.
Even institutions can get second-hand MS software (MS lost a trial on that): http://www.usedsoft.com/
My 2 centimes...

Or Windows - hum, I have to grab quickly my bullet-proof jacket!

Well, somebody has to pay Microsoft all those billions.  It won't be me.
Perhaps the Ada Core staff was off on a long spring break and will be back soon.
