Hi,
thanks for the PW32 hint, looks quite good.
Anyway, I made another attempt with the -mno-cygwin flag, I tried to compile the
whole library wirh the flag (ok,ok, I should have done this earlier, my fault)
first of all (as described in the HowTo I wrote of):
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/mingw/include -mno-cygwin"
export CXXFLAGS="-I/usr/local/mingw/include -mno-cygwin"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/mingw/include -mno-cygwin"
then ./configure, went ok
then make
after a while of compiling without problems, I got the following error
c++ -I/usr/local/mingw/include -mno-cygwin -I/usr/local/mingw/include -mno-cygwi
n -I../include -I../include -I../include -I../include -I./base -I../include -I..
/include -I./base -Ibase -c ./base/random/cl_random_from.cc
./base/random/cl_random_from.cc: In method `cl_random_state::cl_random_state()':
./base/random/cl_random_from.cc:84: implicit declaration of function `int getpid
(...)'
which I'm not 'used' to (I used to encounter undefined reference errors in the
past...)
Without the above compilerflags, i.e. without -mno-cygwin I don't get any errors,
are there any ideas why?
