Re: problems building on Windows

[Roland Schwingel]

Hi Doug...

This is a known bug for a couple of
months.

We build on windows for quite 2 years
now using the compiler toolchain and runtime from mingw-w64.sf.net. We
use it for both generating 32bit and 64bit windows code (and also the same
compiler rebuild from source on linux for building code for linux). The
original mingw.org toolchain turned out to contain much to much bugs and
inconsitencies. But I have to confess that we are not using gnustep-make
to build our objc-code, we are having our own inhouse buildsystem for compiling
our code, so I cannot be of much help in integrating the compiler within
gnustep-make.

Subject	problems building on Windows

Recent updates have left base unbuildable for me on Windows
(I haven't tried other platforms). Are some of the recent changes still
being checked in? Here's the last part of what I'm seeing (I'm currently
at r29700):

 Compiling file NSUserDefaults.m ...
 Linking subproject win32 ...
Making all for library libgnustep-base...
 Compiling file inet_pton.c ...
