Re: [Swarm-Support] avcall error in 'make' swarm-2.2 underwindows XP

[Marcus G. Daniels]

Hi,

To build Swarm from scratch on Windows, I'd suggest you grab the current 
Swarm SVN trunk from savannah.nongnu.org and build it using the Mingw32 
cross compilation suite provided with Fedora 12.
Also install Wine so that the configure process will believe it is 
running under Windows. Incidentally, once you have a good build, models 
will actually run in Wine reasonably well.

With regard to the error below, I just dusted-off the libffi support in 
Swarm. libffi is an alternative to avcall. Cross compilation for MingW32 
is much faster than compilation with Cygwin. Using 
--with-ffidir=/where-you-install-libffi to use it. You'll have to build 
libffi too. I used the version at:
