Hey ho
;o)
To bring some (good)
news (i think ;o)). I wrote a little compiler wrapper you may have heard of
-> wgcc (www.sourceforge.net/projects/interix-wgcc)
which behaves like gcc and uses microsofts toolchain in the background. As of
0.6.0 the shared library support is quite stable. I also created a little patch
for libtool 1.5.22 which allows building it shared with wgcc. This works ok for
now (just some little probs with globals ;o//), and i'm prudktively building
lots of libraries (about 200 MB Sources => about 4 GB Binaries...) with
little or no modification (except updating libtool) (many of those sources have
never seen windows!!).
The thing works on
Interix 3.5, 5.2 and 6.0 (!!) (with the newest config.guess)
If anybody is
interested in this, everything can be found at sourceforge (www.sourceforge.net/projects/interix-wgcc)
(the patches for libtool too....)
(if you wonder what ucl and
ulink are: these are tool for the windows command line which allow linking in
libraries with unix style names
without having to change the
command line from cl.exe. Additionally the whole environment gcc would listen to
is take into account,
and the pxwc library (wgcc) is
linked in to allow in place path conversion at runtime with
getenv...)
Any feedback would
be really great!!
Regards,
Markus
