Re: [Help-gnucap] Gnucap for windows

[al davis]

The autoconf (configure) script doesn't get it right for 
windows, as you discovered.

Instead .. try the alternate build system "configure.old".  Then 
"make mingw".

Actually, that doesn't work automatically either.  Modelgen 
needs to run on the host system, and you need to manually make a 
link.

so ..
./configure.old
make
cd src
make mingw
ln -s gnucap-modelgen MSW
make mingw

This should give you a working windows executable.

You asked about "-rdynamic" ..  it doesn't work on windows, but 
you can't just remove it.  Look in src/Make2.mingw to see what 
to do.

On Linux, -rdynamic exports the symbols so they are available to 
plugins.  If you just leave it out, plugins won't work.  For 
windows, you also need to build a ".a" file which (as I recall) 
contains the symbol table for plugins.
