RE: libobjc and thr-win32.c

[Matthew Jimenez]

Just tried the installer out for the first time. Can't say whether I'll be able to simply use it yet or not, but time will tell.

You might want to consider updating the msys environment since the current one seems to blow up in Vista.

 

I'm using the following from mingw.org downloads with some success thus far (new development machine - the old one ran the last msys release):

msysCORE-1.0.11-2007.01.19-1.tar.bz2  (base system - many files get replaced by others the follow below)

MSYS-1.0.11-20071204.tar.bz2

tar-1.19.90-MSYS-1.0.11-1-bin.tar.gz

vim-7.1-MSYS-1.0.11-1-bin.tar.gz

bash-3.1-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bZ2

bzip2-1.0.3-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2

diffutils-2.8.7-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2

findutils-4.3-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2

gawk-3.1.5-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2

coreutils-5.97-MSYS-1.0.11-snapshot.tar.bz2 (move files to msys after)

 

Also, rxvt tends to misbehave for me. I know a lot of people had something of a holy war over it, but at my work we've always just deleted it and moved along (and I'm following suit with prior decisions for now)

 

Thanks,

-Matthew Jimenez

Well, that's odd. I don't know why thr-win32.c isn't tagged in 1.6.0.  I'm pretty sure you still use it, although I haven't tried to see if others work as well.  I compile the Windows installer with gnustep-objc-1.6.0 with not extra dependencies:

Hi,

 

I'm currently investigating upgrading my mingw dev environment and came to the point that I can test out a newer  copy of libobjc.

I've noticed that the tarball from ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/libs/ still has thr-win32.c, while the tag in svn at http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/gnustep/libs/libobjc/tags/objc-1_6_0/ appears to not have that file anymore.

Same seems to go for a few other threading files .

Am I still expected to use thr-win32.c (GNUmakefile seems to indicate so)? If not, do I have to worry about any new library dependencies?

 

Thanks,
