Hi Ross, I face this issue even on Win32 XP SP2. It used to build successfully before recent commit [e084092a07].
Were you successful to build it after above commit? - Altu -----Original Message----- From: Ross Berteig <r...@cheshireeng.com> To: fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org; fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org Sent: Thu, Dec 23, 2010 7:04 am Subject: Re: [fossil-users] Errors during compile in Windows 7 x64 At 04:29 PM 12/22/2010, Richard Hipp wrote: >I spent a very frustrating morning on Monday, downloading mingw >and trying to get the makefile to work on a new windows7 box I >have sitting off to might right.

Alternatively, there are builds of most of thecommon *nix utilities available from the GnuWin32 project(gnuwin32.sourceforge.net). I know that they provide builds ofboth sed and awk. Assuming you use Gnu Make built natively forWindows (also available from GnuWin32), then it ought to bepossible to get it to build from a CMD prompt without the MSYSport of bash and friends. I have built fossil here under WinXPusing some combination of the above tricks, but that PC is nowretired and I haven't had a reason to build fossil myself since Ireplaced it with a new Win 7 Pro machine.If your Win 7 is either Professional or Ultimate (but not HomePremium) then another approach is to install Virtual PC and thehighly integrated XP Mode. That gets you a virtual machinerunning a fully licensed XP SP3. (With Home Premium, you canstill use Virtual PC, but you don't get an XP license to run init so you'd have to provide one separately.)This is a useful thing to do if you want and need to test thingsin 32-bit XP as well as under Win 7 64-bit, or if you have toolsthat cannot run in Win 7 for some obscure reason. If you had aknown to work build recipe for XP, then this might be an approach.I will take some time "soon" to work out what the build recipefor MinGW on Win7Pro 64-bit can be, and specifically whatpackages other than MinGW are required to get it to build. I'llreport back to the list if someone doesn't beat me to it.Ross Berteig r...@cheshireeng.comcheshire Engineering Corp. http://www.CheshireEng.com/_______________________________________________fossil-users mailing listfossil-us...@lists.fossil-scm.orghttp://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi -bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
