Sorry, I am a complete noob to all this make/install/gcc stuff, I am just
trying
to make a fresh build of a DLL I have used for years to see if it resolves a
problem.
I installed cygwin 1.7.1 today on a windows 7 laptop.
The directions for my library are great:
"VER=8.4.12
SRCDIR=`pwd`
cd $SRCDIR/tcl$VER/win
env 'CC=gcc -mno-cygwin' ./configure --enable-threads
make libtclstub84.a
cd $SRCDIR/tk$VER/win
env 'CC=gcc -mno-cygwin' ./configure --enable-threads
make libtkstub84.a
cd $SRCDIR/Togl
env 'CC=gcc -mno-cygwin' ./configure --with-tcl=../tcl$VER/win --with-
tk=../tk$VER/win
make"
That's from doc for the lib which is Togl, an OpenGL add-on widget to Tcl/Tk.
Unfortunately the mailing list does not seem active, because:
The first env command responds "C compiler cannot create executables" and
refers
me to the config.log. That has a few lines showing the -mno-cygwin flag has
been
removed and telling me to use a mingw-targeted cross-compiler.
Not sure if those are warnings or that is why later what looks to be a hello-
world-like little C compile reports failure leading next to the "cannot create
exes" message.
Googling did turn up a long-ago discussion mentioning deprecating no-mingw (and
to my relief that this is not something poor know-nothings like me should
encounter) but the obvious solution ("a mingw-targeted cross-compiler") did not
work out two ways:
1. Just googling that did not cause anything to jump out at me.
2. I am wondering if this is a cross-compiler situaton, since I am on Windows
trying to build a windows DLL.
Any clues greatly appreciated!
