RE: [Bug-gnubg] Re: Compile on Windows

[Holger]

Hi Øystein,

Thanks for your help. Right now I'm at home and trying to compile under
Windows 95. Here I still only have the snapshot from 021030, so I don't
have bearoffgammon.* yet. For the rest it shouldn't make a difference, I
suppose.

Unfortunately, I have to say that it still doesn't work.

gcc -fnative-struct -O2 -Wall -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
-DLOCALEDIR=\"J:/glib/lib/locale\" \
 -I. -I./lib -Ij:/GNUbg/ext -Ij:/gcc/i386-mingw32msvc/include
-Ij:/glib/include \
 -Ij:/GTK+/include -Ij:/iconv -Ij:/intl/include -Ij:/gdbm/include
-Ij:/xml2/include/libxml2 \
 -c sound.c -o sound.o
sound.c:988: arguments given to macro `SoundWait'
make: *** [sound.o] Error 1

I had a look at the source, and it doesn't make sense to me. I hope that
you've got a clue.

Also I hope you don't mind my top-posting. I thought it might be easier to
read. Further down I've inserted some comments and answers to your reply.

Regards,

        Holger

It's indeed very strange as the preprocessor just replaces the variable.
Anyone else has had this or knows what to do? It happens on both Win2000
and 95, so probably independent from Windows. gcc version is 2.95.2 msvcrt
build.

Yes, this would be a good idea. :-)

More on this when I get to linking again.

Yes. In both gnubg.c and makeweights.c I've replaced the line
    bindtextdomain (PACKAGE, LOCALEDIR);
with
    bindtextdomain (PACKAGE, "J:/glib/lib/locale");

The last one is trivial to resolve.

It's the X11 headers for Windows. I had seen a dependency earlier but know
now that it's not needed since you're using GTK.

Yes, see above.

Sure, I'll give it a try. But first I'd like to make it work the
conservative way.
