[Mingw-users] large library build problem (VTK)

[Bill H. <bil...@ki...>]

Hi,  

I am not sure if this should be on the cygwin list or not, please let me know.
Anyway I am trying to port VTK to mingw.   The graphics library of
VTK has 284 files in it.   ar seg faults when attempting to create a library.
If I split it up (and build 3 libraries instead of 1), 
then gcc crashes at link time.

The application uses the win32 api.  Right now I am working off the current
cygwin release

Here is uname -a:
CYGWIN_NT-4.0 DUNE 1.1.4(0.26/3/2) 2000-08-03 20:53 i686 unknown

So, should I download a new compiler/binutils from here:
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin/gcc-2.95.2/

Will that fix the problem??


Thanks

-Bill
