              <br>
              The problem is described in another thread: <a href="http://forum.world.st/Cannot-generate-VM-in-Windows-with-CMake-and-Git-tp3434566p3434566.html" target="_blank">http://forum.world.st/Cannot-generate-VM-in-Windows-with-CMake-and-Git-tp3434566p3434566.html</a><br>

              <br>
              So...if we remove &quot;-mno-fused-madd&quot;  from windows confs
              like CogMsWindowsConfig, then Corquet wouldn&#39;t behave
              correctly ?  but if we keep them, it is difficult to
              compile in some platforms. So...I wonder, I am the only
              one trying to compile this on Windows?  Who do the Croquet
              guys do to compile with this flag in Windows?<br>

                    &gt;&gt;&gt; Squeak uses highly unportable flag
                    &quot;-mno-fused-madd&quot;.<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt; It isn&#39;t present in many systems, even
                    those using GCC,<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt; since many systems use older compilers.<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt; Also, why do you build fdlibm? It is
                    old stuff that works not so well,<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt; we have better libm. Is there a way to
                    use our libm?<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt; I asked  same question few weeks ago.<br>
                    &gt;&gt; Check mailing list archive for discussion.<br>
                    &gt;&gt; In short: differrent libm implementations
                    work differently and some<br>
                    &gt;&gt; have bad support of IEEE standard.<br>
                    &gt;<br>
                    &gt; Actually, that&#39;s not quite the point. The issue
                    is that Croquet requires<br>
                    &gt; bit-identical computations including floating
                    point. For FPU computations,<br>
                    &gt; the use of -mno-fused-madd avoids the use of
                    the fused multiply-add<br>
                    &gt; operation by compilers which support it which
                    would generate different<br>
                    &gt; results from compilers not using fused madd.<br>
                    &gt;<br>
                    &gt; The usage of fdlibm is similar. As Nicolas has
                    pointed out elsewhere, fdlibm<br>
                    &gt; is in some cases actually inferior of the
                    platform libms (one might say<br>
                    &gt; outright broken) but the requirement for the
                    usage in Croquet isn&#39;t really<br>
                    &gt; whether it&#39;s &quot;correct&quot; or &quot;good&quot;. The
                    requirement is bit-identical results<br>
                    &gt; across all platforms. The results can be wrong
                    as long as they are<br>
                    &gt; consistently wrong. But they mustn&#39;t be
                    different.<br>
                    &gt;<br>
                    <br>
                  </div>
                  Yes, I was disappointed by exp(1), but fdlibm
                  sin(pi+epsilon) is far<br>
                  far superior to i86 hardwired answer (i86
                  approximation of pi is well<br>
                  known to be poor).<br>

                      (i.e., not requiring<br>

                      really isn&#39;t a requirement to<br>
