Hi all, I am installing google protocol buffer in Windows and using MinGW since I will be using eclipse. Till now I downloaded the package from git and extracted it in C:/prog/MinGW/mysys/1.0/home/user. I have updated the PATH environment variable to C:/prog/MinGW/bin and pasted the protoc.exe in it. In the extracted folder I ran autogen.sh which generated the folder gtest. I have installed MySYS a unix bash and through that I navigated to gtest and executed the following commands - ./configure make both executed without any errors. Executing make gives me '**** Warning: This system can not link to static lib archive lib/libgtest.la.* **** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when* **** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a* **** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have.* *libtool: link: warning: undefined symbols not allowed in i686-pc-mingw32 shared* *libraries'*
But when I execute make install I get the following error. Highly appreciate if anyone could help me on this. Its urgent. Also where is the README.txt located *'make[1]: Entering directory `/home/Shreeram/protobuf-master/protobuf-master/gtes* *t'* *echo "'make install' is dangerous and not supported. Instead, see README for how* * to integrate Google Test into your build system."* *'make install' is dangerous and not supported.
