Hello,
Some time ago I had some questions about getting the GCCSDK working
on cygwin. I have not yet managed to do that, but unfortunately
I have not been able to use much time on that project either.
The goal I was working towards was to try to see if I could get
glib to compile. Google told me it should be possible with 'little
effort'.
(http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.acorn.programmer/msg/537c866ad2d07806)
But without the GCCSDK this will probably not be that easy.
According to
http://www.iconbar.com/articles/Building_the_Dream_1_-_Container_data_structures/index1162.html
there already is a port for glib, at
http://www.riscos.info/downloads/unix-libraries/ but that link is
dead. Searching for glib on riscos.info does not help either.
Does anyone know if there is a somewhat more recent port? (2.12 or
later, I did find a 1.xx version somewhere...)
glib is pretty straightforward, and indeed it is very easy to compile
yourself - if you have GCCSDK, which I appreciate is is tricky
upder Cygwin - this is still an open question, but you might like
to retry with the much updated information.
I haven't made any libraries releases in some time, due to ongoing
development of static vs dynamic and packaging. Also because
of upstream churn, it tends to be better to build your own if you
are cross compiling.
The libraries which Alan has packaged are much better presented
than the "raw" files which I originally did, although the former
doesn't presently include glib - although this is probably a minor
matter to do.
As an aside, regarding John's recent change for dynamic vs static
libraries; the only application that really needs dynamic right
now is the development Firefox, and we could automatically choose
dynamic for AB packages in the libraries section (since that will
generally build static libraries too). This isn't 100%, but I
think you'll in general be able to produce static binaries with
this setup.
