Re: [Chicken-users] MINGW Build with make file and no MS Tools

[Patrick Brannan]

Sergey,

I just reran the instructions in the read me. My console session and
the output from make are attached. I think that the problem is the
inclusion of posix.c intstead of posixwin.c. I believe that there will
be a few others following that one.

On a separate topic. I just realized that the batch file in my readme
was out of date. I will get it all together, rerun the build and send
it in.

Instructions + Console Session

CURRENT MINGW BUILD FAILURE

MinGW:

Use the MSYS environment (http://www.mingw.org/msys.shtml)
available for MinGW.  This will let the installation be done
according to the UNIX instructions below.

(The BOOTSTRAP_PATH make option may be specified in a form like
C:/chicken-1.66 ... spaces in the path to the existing
CHICKEN installation will cause problems)

Sergey Khorev reported how to build Chicken under MinGW with support 
      for shared libraries with some hacking involved:

1) Install MinGW and MSYS
2) Don't use rxvt (default MSYS shortcut), better run MSYS's shell using command
      sh --login -i
3) ./configure
4) edit Makefile to set BOOTSTRAP_PATH if required
5) patch libtool with
      sed -e 's/\(deplibs_check_method=\).*/\1"pass_all"/' libtool > libtool.new
      cp libtool.new libtool
(it seems that libtool tries to be too smart, giving stupid results).
6) mkdir $MINGWDIR/lib/.libs;
   cp $MINGWDIR/lib/libws2_32.a $MINGWDIR/lib/.libs/libws2_32.dll.a
   where MINGWDIR is the where MinGW is installed
7) make, make install, enjoy


  You might want to use C regular expressions package instead of the 
  default one, written in Scheme. 
  In this case you should download latest packages from 
  http://gnuwin32.sf.net 
  (either pcre-*-bin.zip, pcre-*-dep.zip, pcre-*-lib.zip
      or regex-spencer-*-bin.zip and regex-spencer-*-lib.zip).
  Unpack downloaded zip files into one directory.
  Steps 1) and 2) as above.
  3a)
  For simplicity create environment variable with its path, e.g.
      export RE_DIR=c:/Devel/pcre
  Then copy import libraries:
      cd RE_DIR/lib
      mkdir .libs
  If you use PCRE, issue
      cp libpcre.dll.a .libs
  else
      cp libregex.dll.a .libs
  Put libpcre0.dll or regex.dll somewhere to PATH 
              (e.g. WINDOWS\System32)
  3b)
      CFLAGS=-I$RE_DIR/include CPPFLAGS=-I$RE_DIR/include LDFLAGS=-L$RE_DIR/lib ./configure
  Other steps like in normal MinGW build

Could you please explain what didn't work for you?
