Can you give us more information on the issues you had ? I
updated the README.MinGW doc a couple of months ago or so. If it
stopped working (because of changes
in MinGW or somewhere else) I'd like to know, so I can update it
again :-)
Sorry for the late reply.
Here are the issues I encountered with MinGW/MSys 1.0.11 (including
GCC 3.4.5):
- the libxml 2.7.6 source didn't compile with GCC. I worked around
it by installing the binary available at http://www.zlatkovic.com/libxml.en.html
- gnustep-make didn't add -lpthread whereas I configured it with --
thread-lib=posix. I had to add -lpthread to objc_threaded by
editing /usr/local/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/config.make directly
- make install doesn't work on Vista because of permission issues.
I solved the issue as I explained previously here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnustep-dev/2010-06/msg00055.html
- gnustep-base didn't compile. GCC was unable to find the objc
headers although they were properly installed in /usr/local/include
and GCC --print-search-dirs was reporting the right header search
paths
Thanks Quentin, I guess I'll have to try again :-)
I don't have Windows Vista though, but I added a mention of the
installation permission problem in the README.MinGW.
Did you use the latest README.MinGW from core/make/Documentation ?
