Re: [Dev-C++] Xerces-C compilation problem in gcc3.2 win32

If it's a plain c library, all you need to do is rename the .lib to .a and 
it'll work with mingw


Thanks, Winston Ewert

Subject: [Dev-C++] Xerces-C compilation problem in gcc3.2 win32
Date: Sat, 06 Sep 2003 13:58:13 +0200


Hi there

I'm developing C++/GTK2.0/Xerces-c application, which has to be
portable. It uses xerces to read some data.Under Linux it compiles and
works fine. Problems start when I try to compile it under win32.

GTK2 (gtkmm2.0 exactly) is reported to work fine in win32 only in
gcc3.2. (Visual  C++ is has some fatal problems with gtkmm code). So I
have to use gcc. Exact version: g++ (GCC) 3.2 (mingw special
20020817-1). It is delivered with dev-cpp 4.9.8.0

Now, I have to link it with xerces-c library. BUT xerces for win32 has
only librearies in .dll and .lib format (both are used in MSVC and don't
work with gcc).  So I need to compile my own .a or .so library. And
here's the catch - xerces DOES NOT compile under gcc3.2/win.

dev-cpp has a nice feature to import MSVC projects. It comes in handy as
it imports all files and needed constants. But it fails to compile anyway.

So, here's my questions:
Does anybody have compiled xerces-c with gcc3.2/win? Are there any
compiled libraries available? (google fails to answer that questions).

Here's compile log:

make.exe: *** [xercesc/util/MsgLoaders/Win32/Win32MsgLoader.o] Error 1

----------------------

Seems that there's problem with conversion.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.
