#183 unable to build under linux-mingw
It is not possible to build the common++ libs under
linux-mingw32
What I did:
/configure --target=i386-mingw32 --prefix=/opt/mingw
--with-mingw --host=i386-linux-gnu
After a while the linking of the library fails while
the order from the libs is wrong in libtool. -lgcc must
follow -lmingwex and not in visa versa. After fixing
that the linking is successfull.
Next problem occur in xml.cpp. I found no trick to ship
around. So I simply
removed all xml entries in the src/Makefile and build
again.
After a while the next file
.libs/libccext2-1.1.so.0.0.0
should be linked but thausends of unresoved external
occure.
The most missing externals are going to ost::<anything>
I´m tried now 4 days building any kind of commonc++
whithout any
result.
In hope there will come a release candidate which is
able to build on linux with mingw target.
My OS:
Linux/SuSe 8.2. gcc 3.3.3
mingw runtime 3.2
Thanks,

At one time I used to do this with a special makefile,
"Makefile.gcc", that is in the w32 directory. A special pre-build
Makefile was used because configure/libtool scripts had no
knowledge how to make "dlls" work with mingw32 (either on a
linux host or even using cygwin), in part because of the generally
broken and bizarre nature of w32 dll implementation. You can
look at that makefile and perhaps update it for correct/current
source files, and it should still work, and it should also give you a
dll rather than just static link libs that using configure would have
supported. If you can make w32/Makefile.gcc work with the
current sources, I would be happy to take your updated version
of it in for future distributions.

After downloading the last version cpp2-1.1.3 I was
able to build without a specific makefile but with some more
errors which I could
work around:
./configure --target=i386-mingw32 --prefix=/opt/mingw
--with-mingw --host=i386-mingw32 --build=i386-linux-gnu
Could not compile the xml.cpp !
all operations local to untared directory...
cp /usr/include/iconv.h src
cp /usr/include/features.h src
mkdir src/sys
cp /usr/include/sys/cdefs src/sys
cp /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h src/sys
mkdir src/gnu
cp /usr/include/gnu/stubs.h src/gnu
Now I was able to compile. If I set a additional include
path to my
/usr/include path, the complete compilation breaks much eralier.
Are you able to provide some mre tests during configure for the
missing header files to fix the above problem?
After copiing the above files I was able to compile
successfully.
But I have not tested the libs for now :-)
I need no dll because my actual project should not use any
dll because
it must be runable without any kind of installation on the
target pc.
Thanks

Right now I am focusing on gcc3.4 issues, for 1.1.5, which is
going out shortly. But I will look at this issue and see if we can
change things to improve mingw32 compiles right after that
release.
