[Ecls-list] Release candidate for ECL 12.2.1

[Marko Kocić]

Hi Juan,

In order to try windows build without installing older gcc, I tried to
build it using clang.
It built C code fine, but failed in linking phase.

I opened a bug at
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3482358&group_id=30035&atid=398053


It seems that gcc and clang on windows use different naming convention for
exported symbols (leading underscores or not) on windows. I don't have an
idea if fixing clang/windows build would be simple enough to take it into
the release?

Regards,
Marko Kocić
