MinGW and why Linux users should careMinGW and why Linux users should carePosted Nov 19, 2008 17:00 UTC (Wed) by rwmj (subscriber, #5474)In reply to: MinGW and why Linux users should care by cde Parent article: MinGW and why Linux users should care
This is correct to some extent. Currently we build without -fstack-protector because that feature doesn't work in the version of GCC we are using.
Longer term, we want to add / fix all of these features in GCC and the toolchain, stack protection, NX, address space randomization, etc.
Using Visual Studio isn't an option for Fedora because of its non-free status, no matter how good the security features may be.
