Re: 4.1 MinGW Executables Not Working

[TJ Laurenzo <tlaurenzo at gmail dot com>]

The system I have that stuff on is temporarily offline so I can't
check for certain...
I think the last version I built was around the middle-to-end of
September.  I was primarily focused on getting the DLL build working
and had a number of patches applied to that end, but I believe that
the staticly linked version worked without anything special (beyond
the natLogger.cc patch which I recently checked in).  I do recall
having problems with network stuff at that time, though.  If I
remember correctly, the process would start and terminate immediately
upon an attempt to open a socket.  I can't remember if there were any
error messages displayed.

I'll get the system I was working on back up and let you know more
sometime today or this evening.
