#5 mingw patch
Hi there,
to get xlslib compiling with mingw, you will have to disable "targets" as make target.
Because while cross compiling it would not work.
Furthermore I had to disable AX_CC_PRAGMA_PACK in configure.ac when comiling with mingw.
Maybe this patch is not perfect, but I hope you will get the idea.
thank you
Marcel
I'll look at it. I just need to be sure that it doesn't break any other build. Are you sure there is no pack capability for mingw? That's based on gcc no? If so gcc supports pack, but perhaps it needs to be slightly different. When pack is disabled, you lose the ability to create formulas - which may not be of interest to you.
About the pack capability:
You are right I dont care about fomulas for my purposes.
Thats why I didnt get deeper on this topic yet.
Maybe I'll find some more time to investigate into pack capabilities of mingw.
Would it be acceptable for you to make fomulas an option for compiling?
An optin which is enabled by default.
After some search, the solution to compile was to force automake to link the mainC.c with g++.
On file targets\test\Makefile.am you need to add this line:
nodist_EXTRA_testC_SOURCES = dummy.cpp
No need to create dummy.cpp
