Using the MinGW/MSYS environment on Windows, installation is the same as is listed in the manual: cd <source code main directory> ./configure make make install The only suggestion I would add would be to use: make LDFLAGS="-s -all-static" ...instead, so that the resulting executable is (a) stripped of debugging symbols, and (b) self-contained. Without "-s", about 5 MB of debugging symbols are added, and without "-all-static", the executable uses the shared (DLL) versions of the gcc and g++ libraries. These dependencies may or may not be desirable, depending on the user's preference. To set up the MinGW/MSYS environment, one would go to: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/ ...and download "mingw-get-inst-<date>.exe" (the installer). Then one would run this program and select the following components to install: - C compiler (this is selected by default) - C++ compiler - MSYS basic system After installation is complete, selecting the "MinGW Shell" on the Windows start menu runs bash, and then the generic installation instructions above may be followed. -- Dave _______________________________________________ Help-gengetopt mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gengetopt
