Re: gEDA: Win compile help please

[CN]

Hello Mathew,

Thank you for the response! This is very encouraging that you have had success recently. I was getting a bit desparate :) Even though I have been programming for the last 40 years or so, I am very new to cygwin, ivl, and openSrc in general ... [I had no problem compiling ivl under linux.]

A. My cygwin setup shows gperf 2.7.2-1 as the latest... Is 3.0.1 needed? How come my cygwin installer does not show any past 2.7.2?

B. Bison installed shows 20030307-1.

C. I do have libiberty.a in c:\MinGW\lib (as well as in c:\cygwin\lib); but there is no getopt.h under the MinGW tree, there is one under c:\cygwin\usr\include\mingw. How does the g++ -o step below get to this lib, I do not see any CPP or LD FLAGS referring to this.

D. This may not be my immedate problem; but I am not clear about your last step... am I supposed to create those two files each with just those 3 lines? I do have a c:\cygwin\bin\ps2pdf:
----
#!/bin/sh
# $Id: ps2pdf,v 1.3 2002/02/21 21:49:28 giles Exp $
# Convert PostScript to PDF.

# Currently, we produce PDF 1.2 by default, but this is not guaranteed
# not to change in the future.
exec ps2pdf12 "$@"
----

and a c:\cygwin\etc\preremove\masn.sh:
----
#!/bin/sh
# man version 1.5p

manifest=/etc/preremove/man-manifest.lst

[ -f $manifest ] || (echo "Unable to find manifest file" && exit 0)

echo "*** Removing unmodified base files."
echo "*** These will be updated by the postinstall script."
echo "*** Please wait."

while read f; do
/bin/cmp -s "/${f}" "/etc/defaults/${f}" && \
(echo /$f hasn\'t been modified, it will be updated ; \
/bin/rm -f "/${f}")
done < ${manifest}
----

Any help will be very much appreciated!!

Cordially, CN

getopt comes from libiberty.a - at least on Mingw. Here are my directions for building IVI under Mingw (I use Mingw instead of Cygwin).

- install gperf-3.0.1 (from your favorite GNU mirror)

- install bison-2.0-MSYS from the mingw site

- Create 'man' and 'ps2pdf' shell scripts. Each of these scripts is:
#!/bin/sh

echo ""


Seems to build for me...

Regards,
Matthew

Any idea where the getopt library comes from for the mingw compile? I have looked everywhere, and have installed more of the cygwin related libs and other stuff without any success. If I know where the lib is located, I may be able to tune the config or Makefile

Do you know of anybody who currently builds the win version? Perhaps I can try to contact him/her?

CLUE: in the first of two steps of ivl.exe build steps,

since there are no additional lib directives, I assume g++ has some libs it searches by default? Do you know which one it might be?
