Re: [Mingw-users] Cannot build gettext-0.11.5 from source

[John B. <joh...@ho...>]

I was successful with 0.13.x from GNU or GNUWin32 (see my reply to Keith 
MARSHALL).

I also tried your mingwPORT 0.14.5 version and it worked (with the same 
change to specs so that mbrtowc() in -lmsvcp60.a could be found. I suppose 
that the right thing would have been to set LIBS?

For what it's worth, mymachine goes through a proxy server, so the mingwPORT 
installation script could not run automatically. Perhaps it could be 
modified it so that it can use an FTP proxy? Does wget even support that? I 
see something about turning the proxy on or off, and a proxy user name and 
password, but I don't see anything that allows you to set the proxy IP 
address and port.
