Hi folks,
I just compiled gnustep-make from CVS and installed it, then attempted
to build GNUstep-base from CVS (as of about 20 minutes ago) and I get
the following at link time:
Compiling file NSNumber12.m ...
Linking library libgnustep-base ...
Cannot export .idata$4: symbol not found
Cannot export .idata$5: symbol not found
Cannot export .idata$6: symbol not found
Cannot export .text: symbol not found
Cannot export iconv_NULL_THUNK_DATA: symbol not found
Creating library file: ./shared_obj/libgnustep-base.dll.a
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [shared_obj/libgnustep-base.dll.a] Error 1
make[1]: *** [libgnustep-base.all.library.variables] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/c/progra~1/GNUstep/Development/Source/core-snapshot-02Feb2005/base/Source'
make: *** [internal-all] Error 2
Any ideas as to why this is happening?
... maybe an older compiler/building tools version ? You need all the
very new mingw stuff.
Try following the instructions at
http://mediawiki.gnustep.org/index.php/Installation_on_Windows
(which need to be put in a more final form, and merged into README.MinGW)
Probably we should modify gnustep-make's ./configure to check the MinGW
version and complain if it is less than the minimum required (which I'm
not sure what it is, I suppose we just require the latest version for
now).
Thanks
