Re: Build Issues

[jason stein]

Hey Kerin,
I am still working through some issues.  I was wondering were you able to
build this on windows?
thanks
jason


*Things I did to get thru various issues*
I downloaded the Msys2 env and rand the packman -S --needed base-dev (per
your instructions) I was able to get further.  For additional issues I have
done the following following:
1. some additional pacman commands
     pacman -S base-devel gcc vim cmake
     pacman -S git
     pacman -S autoconf
2. dos2unix every file in the repo
3. run yacc to fix a file: yacc --update plural.y
4. run bison manually because plural.y after fixing the file was not
posix: bison
-y -d *-Wno-yacc* --name-prefix=__gettext --output plural.c plural.y

Now I am getting some errors that I am working thru:

making lib/intl/libintl.a in ./lib/intl
