Hi,
I'm trying to build version 0.9.7 under MinGW on XP Home. I'm running MinGW with MSYS and msysDTK, not CYGWIN. Searching the list archive didn't provide a solution, so here's a summury of what I tried.
1. I found that configure can't figure out whether threads are available. It stops with an error, but I can avoid that by specifying --with-threads=no on the command line.
2. Then compilation stops, because the type int64_t is not recognized. I can cure that too, by defining int64_t as __int64 in config.h.
3. I can't easily get past the third hurdle, which is the compiler complaining that the thread() object does not exist. I can't find an easy cure for that, so I'm stuck here.
I can think of several options, but maybe someone else has tried this before, and give me directions:
1. Is --with-threads=no the right choice?
2. I use the latest versions of MinGW and MSYS. Would it help if I upgrade the compiler?
I prefer not to upgrade to cygwin, because I like the MinGW philosophy better.
thanks,
Enno
