Category: MSYS Group: None Status: Closed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Michael Gooch (kotoroshinoto) Assigned to: Earnie Boyd (earnie) Summary: Does msys properly parse system path? Initial Comment: Sometimes programs add items to the path containing spaces, does this interfere at all with locating binaries that are on the msys path but NOT the windows path? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Keith Marshall (keithmarshall) Date: 2012-08-27 07:59 Message: Other links which you may also find helpful: http://mingw.org/wiki/IncludePathHOWTO http://mingw.org/wiki/LibraryPathHOWTO http://mingw.org/wiki/SpecsFileHOWTO ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Earnie Boyd (earnie) Date: 2012-08-27 05:16 Message: Some user wrote this wiki article[1], maybe it will help you. As for GCC not finding /usr/local, you must remember that GCC is a native application and looking for /usr/local to it means that the directory must exist at the root of the device of the current working device. For MinGW you must specify -I /usr/local/include for your compiles and -L /usr/local/lib for your libraries during the link phase. We always suggest installing your optional packages to --prefix=/mingw instead of the usual default of /usr/local because it is easier to use that way.

Also, configure scripts seem to be having some trouble locating items in /usr/local. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=202435&aid=3561894&group_id=2435 |
