Re: [paragui-users] Paragui 1.0.4 and MinGW

[Keith Turner]

For win32.c it was failing to compile and I made the following changes.
 I removed the #ifndef/#endif so that the #define would always be
processed by the pre-processor.  It seems that something else had
already defined INVALID_SET_FILE_POINTER to be DWORD(-1) and this was
causing the compile to fail.  When the compile failed I reran the gcc
command using the -E option to get the output of the preproccessor so I
could see what was going on and that is when I saw the DWORD(-1) and I
then compiler error complaining about a parse error before "-" made
sense.

For src/phsyfs/configure I added something to the shell script to make
it use the external version of zlib.h.  For some reason it was not
finding the zlib.h I have in /mingw/include.  However I have no problem
compiling a program like the following 

   #include <zlib.h>

   int main(){}

When it did not find the zlib.h it would resort to trying to use an
internal version of zlib, however this internal version would not
compile.  So I added the "have_zlib_hdr=yes" line below to make it
compile.  This is obviously a hack but it made everything compile.

I suspect this zlib problem might be the cause of my problem.  When I
first ran my paragui application it was looking for zlib-1.dll so I
copied zlib.dll to zlib-1.dll.   If I move zlib.dll to zlib-1.dll then
it complains that it cannot find zlib.dll.  So I am wondering if
loading duplicate copies of a dll with different names is causing the
problem that I am seeing. I have no idea why the app is looking for
zlib-1.dll.  I am not familiar enough with libtool and the configure
process to resolve this, but I will keep digging.

Thanks,

Keith
