Robert Lazarski resolved AXIS2C-1107.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
- Patches are 18 years old and unmaintainable
- No ability to test (requires Windows + MinGW environment)
- Modern alternatives (WSL2) make MinGW-based builds less necessary
- The effort to modernize these patches would exceed writing new MinGW
support from scratch
- Limited demand - no activity since 2008, and the original reporter
stopped after hitting the circular dependency blocker
If MinGW support is genuinely needed in the future, it would be better
to:
1. Start fresh with modern MinGW-w64/MSYS2
2. Consider adding CMake support instead (more portable)
3. Have someone with Windows access do the work
> Enhance configuration scripts to support building with MinGW

> Key: AXIS2C-1107
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-1107
> Project: Axis2-C
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: build system (Windows)
> Environment: Windows XP, MinGW & MSYS
> Reporter: Steve Nairn
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: patch
> Attachments: axiom.mingw.patch, guththila.mingw.patch,

> Would there be any interest in some patches to the various configure.ac and
> Makefile.am files to support building on Windows XP using MinGW?
> Our product uses Libxml2, libcurl, OpenSSL and Apache httpd (among others)
> and on Windows these are all built with MinGW and MSYS. In order to get
> Axis2/C to play well with the other libraries (DLLs) I've had to modify the
> autoconf/automake to support building with MinGW (as well as some minor code
> changes).
> If I posted the changes in a patch as an attachment to this issue would it be
> of any interest/use to anyone?
