This is probably the wrong place to ask for help on compiling Dia in
mingw but here goes ...
1. I got Dia to the point of complaining it wants GTK so I started
downloading missing bits.
2. GTK wouldn't compile and the list of dependencies seems as follows:
Dia
GTK+
atk
pango
cairo
libpng
zlib
3. zlib compiles but doesn't produce its advertised output according to
the last few lines of the make install prefix=/mingw command results as
follows:
...
// works fine
cp zlib.h zconf.h /mingw/include
// not applicable
chmod 644 /mingw/include/zlib.h /mingw/include/zconf.h
// works fine
cp libz.a /mingw/lib
// not applicable
cd /mingw/lib; chmod 755 libz.a
// this looks like a prob EXCEPT I would expect a .dll file not .so
cd /mingw/lib; if test -f libz.so.1.2.3; then \
// libz.so.1.2.3 is not in /mingw/lib
rm -f libz.so libz.so.1; \
ln -s libz.so.1.2.3 libz.so; \
ln -s libz.so.1.2.3 libz.so.1; \
(ldconfig || true) >/dev/null 2>&1; \
fi
//works fine
cp zlib.3 /mingw/share/man/man3
//not applicable
chmod 644 /mingw/share/man/man3/zlib.3
4. the only zlib file in /mingw/lib is libz.a
5. the only other files (not in /mingw/zlib-1.2.3/) are:
/mingw/include/zconf.h
/mingw/include/zlib.h
6. Throwing caution to the wind I tried libpng as follows:
$ ./configure; make; make install prefix=/mingw
The last few lines ...
cd /mingw/bin; rm -f libpng-config
cd /mingw/bin; ln -s libpng12-config libpng-config
+ cd /mingw/lib
+ rm -f libpng.a
+ ln -s libpng12.a libpng.a
+ rm -f libpng.la
+ ln -s libpng12.la libpng.la
+ rm -f libpng.so
+ ln -s libpng12.so libpng.so
ln: creating symbolic link `libpng.so' to `libpng12.so': No such file or
directory
make[2]: *** [install-exec-hook] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/mingw/libpng-1.2.12'
make[1]: *** [install-exec-am] Error 2
The actual output of this in /mingw/lib/ is ...
libpng-3.dll
libpng.dll.a
libpng-config
libpng12-0.dll
libpng12-config.dll
libpng.a
libpng.la
libpng12.a
libpng12.dll.a
libpng12.la
plus dozens of files in /mingw/libpng-1.2.12
My question is - how should I modify the make files to satisfy mingw
under windows?
Thanks for hints or links to any how-to files
Mike
