From: ian AT kiwiplan DOT co DOT nz (Ian Collins) Subject: Newlib compilation 19 Apr 1998 06:11:22 -0700 Message-ID: <3539C4FE.E20D8C0B.cygnus.gnu-win32@kiwiplan.co.nz> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: gnuwin32 Why can't I get newlib (from the ftp.cygnus.com/pub/gnuwin32/latest cdk-src.tar) to compile? I am trying to create a cygwin.dll, and it appears that newlib is a dependant of winsup so tries to make it. So far, while trying to make winsup (using make all-target-winsup in src directory), all of my problems have been with making newlib. These are, 1. No configure file in newlib directory (so I downloaded newlib-1.8.0 from ftp.cygnus.com and stole it from there. The src makefile was then able to create the newlib makefiles and continue). 2. limits.h wouldn't compile (this was documented as a problem in the mailing list, which I overcame). 3. src/newlib/libc/stdlib/mallocr.c couldn't find (Looking through mallocr.c, I noticed that this wasn't supported in WIN32, so I commented it out). 4. mallocr.c still won't compile as sbrk is multiply defined. At this point, I thought that I'd ask. What have I done wrong? Surely others have managed to get newlib to compile from latest/cdk-src.tar (or have they?). Am I missing something intrinsic here? I extracted the cdk-src file, - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
