[r_linux <r_...@ya...>]

Sorry for this question here... but... what I need to compile a linux-source in MinGW with
gnuwin32 tools ???

Things are supposed to be written to where the patch file says. With '-o 
DCPlusPlus.rc' the patch is rejected and DCPlusPlus.rc is truncated to 0 
bytes (I suspect that this is normal behavior). Output to a new file is 
working fine, as expected.

I'm using cmd. I've only seen cygwin version of bash on win32, but I 
don't want to use cygwin if I can manage without.

There has been a discussion on the mingw-users list about this.
It has been summarized in:
http://mywebpage.netscape.com/yongweiwu/stdcall.htm
http://mywebpage.netscape.com/yongweiwu/dllfaq.htm
Perhaps prefixing the extern declaration with
 __declspec(dllimport) solves your problem.

[GnuWin32-Users] Jpeg-6b for Windows

[GnuWin32 <gnu...@us...>]

A new release of Jpeg-6b is available from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/
This fixes bug # 645011 and several bugs reported in the Help Forum.

[GnuWin32-Users] less search.

[Daniel A. <da...@op...>]

I'm using Windows95.

I type "less somefile.txt"

The file appears. I type "/" then some short text to search. For
example "m". The letter "m" is in the file... press ENTER

less says: "Pattern not found (press RETURN)"

I press ENTER.

I repeat the search. And when I press ENTER again. A window
pops up with title: Less 

and content:

The [Details >>] button says:

Is this happening to someone else?

Re: [GnuWin32-Users] Native Ports for IPv4/IPV6 Sockets

[Kees Z. <kz...@us...>]

Note that Mingw and Gnuwin32 aren't the same.
Gnuwin32 only has Mingw import libraries for the DLLs in
ported packages, such as libpng, and libiconv.
Import libraries for system DLLs such as winsock,
kernel32, etc. are provided with the Mingw distribution from
www.mingw.org. It seems there are not yet import libraries for
net.dll and net6.dll. So you would have to create these yourself.

Thanks Kees,
This information helps.
Microsoft provides a net.dll and net6.dll on Windows-XP
pro that supports both IPv4 and IPv6 sockets, so it looks as
if Mingw is a good choice for this type of application.

However, the GunWin32 product summary page implies that
the gcc compilers already use Mingw :

"At present, all developments have been done under MS-Windows 98, using the
Mingw port of the GNU C and C++ ( GCC )compilers, although  they could
equally have been done with Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) or Borland C++
(BCC).
 a similar type of import library is available. "

If you read a little further, you'll see that GnuWin32 includes import
libraries for Microsoft:

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/msimport.html

So does this imply that the Mingw import libraries are already part of
GnuWin32?
If so, one should be able to use GCC and the socket API routines with the
import libraries
for Microsoft, provided these libraries contain the DLL's for Windows
Sockets.

Thoughts?

[GnuWin32-Users] libfreetype2.dll

[<ry...@ca...>]

Greetings,

I am developing a project using freetype2 in linux,
however, I have been tasked with whipping up a quick
windows demo.

I fairly certain I have all my include and lib paths
set correctly, but I get the error: "This application
has failed to start because freetype2.dll was not
found.  Re-installing the application may fix this
problem."

I've tried renaming libfreetype.dll.a to freetype.dll
and placing it in the systems diretories with no luck.

I have a feeling that I may not be understanding how
the .def works?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [GnuWin32-Users] Best way to install?

[Kees Z. <kz...@us...>]

One way to do this is to create batch files which first set PATH and then
call the relevant program. This is also useful if a program requires the
setting
of some environment variables.
Another way would be to collect all the executables in a single folder.
Personally, on my Win98 system, I use both ways: the second one for gener=
al
utilities, such as the basic GNU utilities, and the first one for more
specialized packages.

Onderwerp: [GnuWin32-Users] Best way to install?


Hi!

I've downloaded all the GnuWin32 packages from SF.net.  Now I'd like to
install them.  So I unzipped them to seperate subdirectories (eg.
wv-0.7.2-3-bin.zip & wv-0.7.2-3-doc.zip & wv-0.7.2-3-src.zip &
wv-0.7.2-4-lib.zip to wv\ or zip-2.3-bin.zip & zip-2.3-doc.zip to zip\).
Now, how would I "integrate" this into Windows XP?  I'd like to have a
way, that I can enter untgz.exe to run untgz.exe from zlib.

I thought about setting PATH to all the bin and lib directories -
however, the PATH string is too long for Windows to handle.

So, what's the best way?  Unzip everything in just one directory
(leaving the subdirectory structure intact, of course)?  Wouldn't this
lead to problems when one lib overwrites the other?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar

[GnuWin32-Users] Best way to install?

[Alexander S. <AS...@em...>]

Hi!

I've downloaded all the GnuWin32 packages from SF.net.  Now I'd like to
install them.  So I unzipped them to seperate subdirectories (eg.
wv-0.7.2-3-bin.zip & wv-0.7.2-3-doc.zip & wv-0.7.2-3-src.zip &
wv-0.7.2-4-lib.zip to wv\ or zip-2.3-bin.zip & zip-2.3-doc.zip to zip\).
Now, how would I "integrate" this into Windows XP?  I'd like to have a
way, that I can enter untgz.exe to run untgz.exe from zlib.

I thought about setting PATH to all the bin and lib directories -
however, the PATH string is too long for Windows to handle.

So, what's the best way?  Unzip everything in just one directory
(leaving the subdirectory structure intact, of course)?  Wouldn't this
lead to problems when one lib overwrites the other?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar

Thanks, the paths were the problem as you thought. Kees Zeelenberg 
followed-up to the MinGW Users Mailing list (I crossposted the query 
newsgroup-style because I use Gmane; having the news interface creates an 
opportunity to use nice ng posting strategies that i just cannot resist). I 
answered Kees' reply there.

   Best,

Yes, you were right. OK, so I have this working well enough now -- 
congratulations on having added Groff to all your other ports. I dub you 
The Prodigious Porter! -- but I am wondering if you can help me finish the 
work so that some noisy complaints are quieted:

On completion, after hitting 'q' to terminate 'less' paging, I get

  grotty:<standard input>:41362:fatal error: output error

And also before the 'less' paging begins (it gets wiped out) I get these 
lines:

   grotty:<standard input>:19: X command without `tty:' tag ignored
   grotty:<standard input>:24: X command without `tty:' tag ignored

So 'grotty' isn't happy, do you happen to know what flags to pass through 
to 'grotty' to make it shut up?

  Thanks!

P.S. An implementation of `man' for MinGW-MSYS, as an sh function:

------------8<------------  
  function man

    GROFF_TMAC_PATH='G:/apps/w32-usr/share/groff/1.18/tmac;G:/apps/w32-
usr/share/groff/site-tmac'
    export GROFF_FONT_PATH GROFF_TMAC_PATH GRAP_DEFINES
    local ManFiles ManSect
    if [ x"$2" != x ]; then
  	ManSect="$1";  shift
    else ManSect='[0-9]'
    fi
    if [ ! -f "$*" ]
  	then if [ -d /mingw ]; then
  # How do we tell 'find' that we want only one result?
  	  ManFiles=`find /mingw/ -iregex ".*/man${ManSect}/${1}\.${ManSect}"` 
  	fi
  	if [ x"$ManFiles" = x ]; then
  	  ManFiles=`find . / -iregex ".*/man${ManSect}/${1}\.${ManSect}"` 
  	fi
    fi
    if [ x"$ManFiles" != x ]; then
      groff -mandoc -Tascii $ManFiles | less -JQCMR
    else echo "No man files with stem "$1" found. Quitting."
    fi
  }

I use that distribution of groff all the time, so it does work. However,
I'm not sure if it works under msys. You may want to try it from the
Windows cmd/command shell.

Re: [GnuWin32-Users] Groff 1.18 port not working as manreader?

[Kees Z. <kz...@us...>]

What might go wrong here is that Groff is not an Msys application but a native
Windows one. So it does not understand the GROFF_...._PATH's when they
are in the Msys form such as /g/.... Perhaps an MS-Windows bat file which sets
these environment variables and then calls groff, will work. I don't use Msys
so I cannot try myself.

RE: [GnuWin32-Users] newbie question main event loop for windows

[Tor L. <tm...@ik...>]

You are still confusing glibc and GLib. glibc is the GNU C library, as
used on for instance GNU/Linux. As far as I know it is not available
for Windows (other than some small parts perhaps), as it is definitely
intended for Unix-like systems.

What you seem to mean is GLib, which is something totally different.

> I am newbie and a bit
> confused by looking at its download link.

(Remember to scroll that page until you see the highlighted entries.)

As it says, that is the *documentation* for glibc. I don't know if
Kees is hinting that he is porting glibc to Win32 by providing the
documentation package? But anyway, it has nothing to do with GLib.

> What all packages i need to install on Window-NT machine to use the main

To use GLib, you need to install
GLib. http://www.gimp.org/win32/downloads.html . The currently most
recent glib runtime zipfile is
http://www.gimp.org/win32/glib-2.0.6-20020802.zip . To use it from
your programs, also download the developer package,
http://www.gimp.org/win32/glib-dev-2.0.6-20020802.zip .

You will also need libiconv and libintl, as glib depends on
them. Links to these are on the same page. (As it happens, neither is
a version provided by GnuWin32, so this thread really shouldn't be on
this list...)
