When I try to build Parrot on Windows XP with MinGW GCC 4.4 + latest
binutils, etc. and Perl 5.10, ''mingw32-make'' exits with undefined
reference errors as stated in the attached error log.
After running Configure.pl include/parrot/config.h includes the following
directives:
{{{
#if defined(__cplusplus)
#[...]
#define PARROT_DYNEXT_EXPORT extern "C" __attribute__
((visibility("default")))
#else
#[...]
#define PARROT_DYNEXT_EXPORT __attribute__ ((visibility("default")))
#endif
}}}
If I replace ''!__attribute!__ ((visibility("default")))'' with
''!__declspec(dllexport)'' it will compile just fine. ''mingw32-make
smoke'' gives the following results:
[http://smolder.plusthree.com/app/public_projects/report_details/24420].
([http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility] provides more information about this
issue, though I'm still confused as it looks like those two statements
should be equivalent?)
Since I'm almost a complete Parrot newbie I can't exactly tell if the 3
failures are related to my change as I don't know (yet) if the tests make
use of any routines defined within ''dynlexpad.c''.
If I should provide more information please let me know, as said before I
don't really comprehend Parrots structure yet and don't know wether there
is a way to get more sufficient logs.
