[Xmlrpc-epi-devel] Compiling with MinGW

[ajalkane <aja...@gm...>]

Hi,

the current release 0.54 doesn't quite compile without complications with MinGW.

Here's what I did to get it to compile:

in src/xmlrpc.c change the line that reads:

#ifdef _MSC_VER
   // Visual C++ does not have gmtime_r, but its gmtime is threadsafe.
   ptm = gmtime(&value);

into

#ffdef _WIN32

Then after configuration (in MinGW I had to do explicitly tell where
expat is found, ./configure --prefix=/mingw --with-expat=/mingw)
to compile the samples, I had to tell that also iconv needs to be
linked. I'm not knowledgeable enough with autoconf to know how
to do this properly, I just modified src/libxmlrpc-epi.la:to have
the line like this:

# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs=' /mingw/lib/libexpat.la /mingw/lib/libiconv.la'

That's it if I remember correctly. I'd hope the necessary changes
are taken into xmlrpc-epi.
