Problems building on Win32

[Toni Vanhala]

Hello!

I've tried many approaches to build the CommonC++ library on a Windows
platform (Cygwin, Borland, MSYS&MinGW), without much success. If there
is a simple way to build it, please let me know, and disregard the rest
of this message. Or, if there is a precompiled version somewhere that
WOULD be nice :-)

The most success (at least, in my opinion) I've had with MSYS 1.0.9 and
MinGW 3.0.0-1. BTW, I compiled the libxml2 from 2.5.9 source.

I ran ./configure, modified some of the source (dir.cpp, socket.h,
port.cpp, config.h, among others), and it now seems to compile with the
makefile in 'src'-directory.

However, among the output it states that:

/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link g++ -I../src -DCCXX_EXPORT_LIBRARY
-I/usr/local/include/libxml2 -I../win32 -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include
-D_GNU_SOURCE   -o libccgnu2.la -rpath /usr/local/lib -version-info 0:11
-release 1.0 thread.lo mutex.lo semaphore.lo threadkey.lo friends.lo
event.lo slog.lo dir.lo file.lo inaddr.lo peer.lo port.lo socket.lo
network.lo serial.lo mempager.lo keydata.lo dso.lo exception.lo
process.lo urlstring.lo getopt.lo getopt1.lo  -L/usr/local/lib
libtool: link: warning: undefined symbols not allowed in i686-pc-mingw32
shared libraries


The libccgnu2.la and libccgnu2.a (+libext2) files appear, but I cannot
compile the examples in 'demo'-directory, e.g.
gcc -I/usr/local/include/cc++2 -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -D_GNU_SOURCE
-L/usr/local/lib -lccgnu2 -lccext2 -lz -shared serialecho.cpp
results in several 'undefined references' to definitions in ost and std
namespaces.

I have run the libtool with -no-undefined -flag. The result is undefined
references to Win32 functions and types, such as WSASocketA, closesocket
and inet_addr. The references are from the files inaddr.cpp, socket.h,
peer.cpp, port.cpp, socket.cpp and network.cpp.


I've already spent two weeks on this, so I appreciate every help you can
 give me! Thanks,
