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

[Giah de Barag]

I am trying to figure out why GDB is crashing (see previous email).

1. Here is a dump of my mingw32 environment. Are the variables right? Is the path right? Is anything missing? Is anything conflicted? Is anything unnecessary?

1. install clean Windows Server 2008 R2

2. install emacs-24.5-bin-i686-mingw32.zip (c:/progra~2/emacs)

3. install gnustep-msys-system-0.30.0-setup.exe (c:/msys)

4. install gnustep-devel-1.4.0-setup.exe (c:/msys)

5. install tortoise svn client

6. set env to:

    GNUSTEP ......... c:/msys/GNUstep

    GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES c:/msys/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles

    MANPATH ......... c:/msys/GNUstep/System/Library/Documentation/man;c:/msys/share/man

    MSYS ............ c:/msys

    MSYSTEM ......... mingw32

    PATH

    .

    c:/msys/bin

    c:/msys/msys/1.0/bin

    c:/msys/mingw32/bin

    c:/msys/gnustep/system/tools

    c:/progra~1/tortoi~1/bin

    c:/progra~2/emacs/bin

    %systemroot%

    %systemroot%/system32

    %systemroot%/system32/wbem

    %systemroot%/system32/windowspowershell/v1.0

2. In building gnustep-base32 on mingw32, the make/configure script could not determine my processor or hardware (vmware / x5675).

uname -s = mingw32_NT-6.1 (kernel name)

uname -r = 1.0.17(0.48/3/2) (kernel release)

uname -v = 2011-04-24 23:39 (kernel version)

uname -m = i686 (machine)

uname -p = unknown (processor)

uname -i = unknown (hardware)

uname -o = Msys (operating system)

Therefore, I added the following temporary hack to the windows-build script.

# Architecture Goop

ARCH=i686-pc-mingw32                 # config.guess failed

ARCH_GOOP="--build ${ARCH} --target ${ARCH} --host ${ARCH}"

CONFIGURE="./configure ${ARCH_GOOP}"

Was i686-pc-mingw32 the right triple to use?

Thank you.
