21.4 and GCC 3.4.2

21.4 and GCC 3.4.2

[Juanma Barranquero]

Is it possible to build 21.4 with gcc 3.4.2?

I'm trying to compile it with MinGW, release "gcc (GCC) 3.4.2
(mingw-special)", and it fails with an error on callproc.c about
egetenv being duplicated.

Hello,

I have build 22.0.50 (CVS HEAD) using the following version of GCC with
_NO_ problems.

gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 (mingw special)

I build 22.0.50 daily with MinGW 3.4.2, and I have no reason to
suspect it won't work with 3.4.4, but it is nice to know it works
indeed. Thanks.

Still, I was specifically asking about 21.4 because it is the latest,
more up-to-date release we've done, and MinGW 3.4.2 is the latest
non-candidate release of the MinGW GCC compiler. They should work
together, IMO.

Could you try 21.4 with MinGW 3.4.4 to see whether it does work?

They don't, which is why there is no binary release of 21.4. There has 
been code in the EMACS_21_1_RC branch to make them work together since 
shortly after 21.3 was released and this problem discovered, but 21.4 
was not made from CVS.

In the past, releases of Emacs for Windows built with MSVC were made
(I even seem to remember they alternated with GCC/MinGW builds). Is
there a policy to not do that again?

21.4 was released while I was afar. I assumed 21.4 came from the
EMACS_21_1_RC branch. Weird to know it wasn't so, and even weirder to
know we did a security release and didn't provide a binary for it :-)

Thanks for the update,

Can you please post the exact error message(s)?

Jason said it is already fixed, but if you're still interested:

callproc.c: At top level:
callproc.c:1441: error: conflicting types for 'egetenv'
callproc.c:1021: error: previous implicit declaration of 'egetenv' was here
