[Flac-dev] flac-1.0.4 on MinGW

[Matthew Burgess]

I've just got flac-1.0.4 to successfully compile under my MinGW environment:   MinGW-2.0.0-3   - binutils-2.13.90-20021006-2   - w32api-2.1 MSYS-1.0.8-rc4   This is on an AMD Athlon machine with 512MB RAM running Windows XP.   The only change I had to make was to include/FLAC/ordinals.h.in to remove the reference to MINGW32 on line 39 - without this change the compile bailed out very early on.  Prior to this the compile would never complete successfully due to memory issues (occurred under both cygwin and MinGW due to buggy make/fork code I believe).  Anyway I just thought I'd share this "heads up" so as the change may be able to go in and allow flac to compile "out of the box" in the near future.   Thanks,   Matt
