compiling latest version with mingw
Hi Shane.
I came across this problem last week
and only now checked in the appropriate changes which link in a new Mingwex
library recently brought in by the Mingw32 team to cover some new C99
functions, one of which is the isnormal() function, which is in fact a macro
in "math.h".
You need to get the latest
Mingw runtime from
and install as usual.
Do a CVS update to get the
changes.
Then "make clean", configure etc and
rebuild per the instructions in README.mingw.
Note that there is a new gcc v 3.1
compiler, which I haven't yet tried on GCL yet.
Cheers
Mike Thomas.

Subject: [Gcl-devel] Problems compiling
latest version with mingw
Hello:
I just started trying GCL yesterday for
the first time, and I tried compiling it on my Win98 box with the mingw
compiler, following the instructions in readme.mingw. It had problems
compiling o/num_co.c, due to the recent changes in revision 1.3 of that
file.
In my compilation, the recent addition
of two calls to isnormal() causes the linking step to fail, as isnormal()
doesn't seem to be found anywhere. Sorry, I don't know enough about
isnormal() (or GCL) to provide a patch, but I was able to work around the
problem by commenting out the isnormal() calls and the appropriate sections
of the surrounding if statements.
