Re: [Rlib-devel] Windows Compile

I tried this and I got a little further, but libtool was not happy
making its exe wrappers.. I'll have to investigate.

Yes, but when you use the "-mno-cygwin" is uses a built in mingw
environment to compile things.  Instead of gcc looking in the
normal /usr path it looks in /usr/i686-pc-mingw/ and therefor it doesn't
have langinfo, monetary, ect

I use the environment to develop a windows GTK app successfully. (Native
win32, no cygwin dll is needed)

Do you have a plain mingw environment?  I might need a little further
instruction on how to set it up correctly.  I had assumed up until this
point you were going down the -mno-cygwin route

=== On another note ==

I think the easiest thing to do w/ the nl_langinfo stuff is to make a
win32 compat library for rlib.  We could ask the guy if he would mind
releasing his work under the LGPL.  I think this solutions would make
all parties happy.  We could also put glibc strfmon in here also.
