Re: 32bit GS on 64bit Win rebuild base from src

[Giah de Barag]

If I use the 32-bit distribution to try to rebuild base, it fails here in the 
config.ffi.c test:

Breakpoint 2, main () at config/config.ffi.c:39
39        ffi_closure *pcl = ffi_closure_alloc(sizeof(ffi_closure), &code);
(gdb) p sizeof(ffi_closure)
$1 = 64

No I just want to build 32-bit code. I downloaded GNUstep, installed it, and 
now I want to just have it re-build part of itself (base) as is.

The installer is a 32bit distribution ... uyou can't use it to build 64bit code.

If you want a 64bit build, you need to dowload a 64bit development environment 
(msys2 and  a load of 64bit libraries) and then configur/build/install gnustep 
from source.

There are step by step instructions for getting the depedencies into an msys2 
64bit environment in svn at tools/scripts/trunk/install-dependencies-msys2-64bit

You can see that script via http at 
http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/gnustep/tools/scripts/trunk/install-dependencies-msys2-64bit
