< p > The 1.5 beta 4 is the first available MSYS/MINGW build.< p >
2003-03-06 01:27:59 +01:00
< p > The only difference between the msvc build and the mingw build, is that the later one does not support the ms SEH exception handling. This is an important difference because some exceptions will not be catched and thus FB will abort, the sources using this exception handling are jrd/blob_filter.cpp, jrd/exe.cpp and jrd/fun.epp.< / p >
