I'm hoping to try to build (and in some cases rebuild) some of the applications listed under FLTK Links using the latest version of mingw and msys. I downloaded fltk 1.3.0 since that's listed as stable and am attempting to use it. Is this that the best version of the library to start with or is another version recommended?
I noticed a bug listed here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg08296.html Am having the same issue. Was wondering if this was fixed in another version (hence the question am I using the best version) or should I just add !defined(__MINGW32__) to the include file? I also had a problem with the following line in the configure file: msyspath=`mount | grep '\/usr' | grep -v '\/usr\/bin' | cut -d ' ' -f -1 | sed -e 's/\\\/\// g'` I use the /etc/fstab to set various directories in MinGW. The goal is to make it more like the Linux FHS. How to do this is documented in some of the MinGW FAQs. The result of mount | grep '\/usr' | grep -v '\/usr\/bin' on my machine is: \mingw\msys\usr\include \mingw\msys\usr\local \mingw\msys\usr\share \mingw\msys\usr\sbin \mingw\msys\usr\lib \mingw\msys\usr\src C:\mingw\msys Since I have multiple directories (and the line attempts to set msyspath to all of those directories) the following setup in configure #define FLTK_DOCDIR "$msyspath/local/share/doc/fltk" prevents fltk from building without my patching it. I changed the following in configure and it works on my system: - msyspath=`mount | grep '\/usr' | grep -v '\/usr\/bin' | cut -d ' ' -f -1 | sed -e 's/\\\/\// g'` + msyspath=`mount | grep '\/usr' | grep -v '\/usr\/' | cut -d ' ' -f -1 | sed -e 's/\\\/\// g'` mount | grep '\/usr' | grep -v '\/usr\/' brings back only: C:\mingw\msys on /usr type user (binmode,noumount) However, was wondering if there was a way to override running this code and supply msyspath to the configure file myself. Is there any way to pass this location in to configure (maybe as an environment variable)? One last thing I wanted to know about building with mingw is with regards to the following compiler flags: -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ I'm trying to build the applications so I don't have to distribute the standard c and c++ libraries. According to the MinGW web site, there's an exception for compiling in these two libraries, so one is allowed to compile/link them in and still distribute the executables (without worrying about GPL/LGPL). What's the best way to use the compiler flags with fltk? I tried compiling the fltk libraries with them, but then when I use the libraries with other applications and set the flags there too, I get errors. Am I better off building without the compiler flags and only using them when I build an executable that uses the fltk libraries? Was wondering how others were handling this situation. Any advice or help on these questions would be very greatly appreciated. Thank you. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
