I sent a message earlier asking how to install libtool for MSYS 1.0 and
Mingw-w64. Never mind, I figured it out. I didn't realize there wasn't a
package manager and all I had to do was download the code and install various
packages. I'd like to make a suggestion though if I could. By default,
using the mingw-w64 installer from sourceforge, it wants to install MinGW in
C:\Program Files\mingw-w64\... or C:\Program Files (x86)\mingw-w64\... by
default. It seems libtool, along with any source the depends on libtool or
libtoolize, doesn't like spaces in pwd. I even tried using C:\progra~1 and
putting it in double quotes, escaping it, etc. The only way I could figure
out how to get libtool to compile (and work properly) is by having MinGW
installed somewheres else, without spaces, like C:\SDK\MinGW-W64\...
Perhaps it might be a good idea to configure the installer to pick a different
location by default or at least maybe a warning to users that having a space in
the installation path can mess with things if you decide to use MSYS1 or
2...Just a thought.
Thanks!
