After a computer refresh, I have just downloaded the latest mingw, emacs, etc again, and am re-installing GSL on my XP Pro 2002 SP3 machine. I am failing to compile GSL 1.15 in exactly the same manner as the user in the thread reproduced below. I tried the suggested actions, but there was no difference. But I did download the last version of GSL that I know that I previously compiled using mingw (1.10) , and this did NOT have the same issue. Configure appears to determine exactly the same information as with 1.15, but it does not have the same failure during make. Does this mean it is a GSL issue? Or is it a mingw issue?

Sometimes the package expects you to not be in the source directory to configure and build. |

It is still available in the download area. Installing MSYS in that way and using the suggested procedure all went OK in both XP (SP3) and Vista (SP1) using the latest GCC 4.6.1 and related packages (installed manually not using any automatic installer). Please note: To avoid any numerical instabilities and pass the testing (make check) you need CFLAGS = -O2 -ffloat-store -mthreads -fexceptions Using GCC 4.6.1 the only critical sources are in ode-initval2, so you can add the -ffloat-store just in the Makefile of the ode-initval2 and avoit it in the other Makefile. Using the CFLAGS above you 'll be using -ffloat-store everywhere. It' difficult to say where is the issue. I didn't read the previous posting and so I need more details. Hope this helps.

What does MSYS-1.0.11 do that MSYS-current doesn't do? Earnie |
