Compiling guile on mingw32

Compiling guile on mingw32

[Andreas Røsdal]

Hello,

I'm trying to compile guile 1.8.1 for the mingw32 platform on Windows.
When running configure, I get this error message:


checking for lt_dlinit in -lltdl... no
configure: error: libltdl not found.  See README.


However, I have compiled and installed libtool. (libtool-1.5.22)
So I commented out the check for lltdl in configure, and ran it again.
Then I got the following error message:

checking for gethostname... no
checking whether sethostname is declared... no
checking for library containing crypt... no
checking for cexp... yes
checking for clog... yes
checking for carg... yes
checking whether csqrt is usable... no, glibc 2.3 bug
checking for __gmpz_init in -lgmp... no
configure: error: GNU MP not found, see README

Then I compiled and installed GNU MP (gmp-4.2.1).
However, I the above still occurs after installing GNU MP.

So it seems that configure is not able to find the two above error 
messages. I have also tried guile-core.unstable-20070429, and get the same 
problems there. Has anyone successfully been able to compile guile on 
mingw32?

Hello, Andreas

I was able to compile guile on mingw32.

First, you should use the guile-core-1.8-20070429.tar.gz snapshot, or
use "cvs" to download the code in the 1.8 branch. The unstable branch is
not mingw32 compatible, at the moment.

Then, make sure you configured libtool, gmp and guile with

./configure --prefix=$(cd /mingw && pwd -W)

This will install the libraries at the right location in the MinGW
compiler tree and allow guile to find its data files at run-time.

Also, add to the guile configure line:

--without-libiconv-prefix --without-libintl-prefix

due to a problem in the MinGW gettext support.

Hope this helps,
Cesar

Thanks for the help, this worked. Hoever, during compilation, I now get 
the following compilation error, do you know how to fix this as well?

Commetning out  -Wmissing-prototypes -Werror in the Makefile solved this 
compilation error.


Then, the compilation failed while creating libguile.dll.a.
I have tried with both gmp-4.1.4 and gmp-4.2.1 installed.

Try removing the -I/mingw/include option instead, it should work as
well. Normally, warnings in system headers are ignored, but if
/mingw/include is explicitly added to the search paths, they are no
longer considered as such, I guess.

I forgot about that, please reconfigure gmp with the options:

--enable-shared=yes --enable-static=no

and see if the file libgmp.dll.a is created in /mingw/lib after a rebuild.

Can you look at the generated `config.log' and find the relevant lines?
That is, search for "ltdl" and "gmp"; `config.log' will contain the
exact compiler/linker error message that led it to think libltdl and GMP
are not available, and it will also contain a line indicating "failed
program was:", followed by the program that failed to compile/link.

That should be helpful in trying to nail down the exact cause of the
problem.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
