Re: building gettext 0.15-pre0 on Windows XP using MinGW

Hello Bruno.

Before doing anything else, I extracted the contents of
gcc-g++-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
from the current MinGW package into my MinGW installation.

I tend to only install 'the minimum I think I will need',
and I didn't know there were things I was missing(and might
still be missing from my installation). The one good thing
about this step-by-step approach is that it's letting me
document exactly what is needed to (I hope) be able to
build gettext on a Windows system :-)

Hi,


First, using MSYS, I installed libiconv-1.10, and the configure,
make, and make install all seemed to work properly, based on
what I saw in the logs.

Then I used you latest gettext tarball, but there are errors
when doing the make:

Thanks for retrying. The libiconv install doesn't seem to be taken into
account: configure still says
   "checking for iconv... no, consider installing GNU libiconv".
In order to fix that, you would have to look whether
  /usr/local/include/iconv.h
  /usr/local/lib/libiconv.{dll,a,la}
exist

Yes, they do.
From within the MinGW environment provided by MSYS:
$ pwd
/usr/local/include
$ ls
iconv.h  libcharset.h  libintl.h  localcharset.h
$ cd /usr/local/lib
$ ls
charset.alias libcharset.a libcharset.dll.a libcharset.la libiconv.dll.a libiconv.la libintl.a libintl.dll.a libintl.la

and have a look at gettext-runtime/config.log.

Not sure what I should be looking for?
The log from executing
$ ./configure > c:/gettext-configure.log 2>&1
is here:
http://punt.sourceforge.net/files/temp/gettext-configure.log
and the config.log files from both /gettext-runtime and
/gettext-tools are here:
http://punt.sourceforge.net/files/temp/gettext-runtime.config.log
http://punt.sourceforge.net/files/temp/gettext-tools.config.log

http://punt.sourceforge.net/files/temp/gettext-make.log

Here the error indicates that you have no C++ compiler installed, only
the C compiler. However, on mingw, gettext is build using the C++ compiler
(partially).

I know the above issue with the configuration has to be
resolved, but I decided to run make anyway:
$ make > c:/gettext-make.log 2>&1
and the log is available here:
http://punt.sourceforge.net/files/temp/gettext-make.log

Thanks
