Hi all, Recently I've had to compile Praat with Mingw. I had to make a few source code changes to get this to work (for example, the Melder_wcstok function not being consistently used, the Win32 API not defining a function to POSIX standard, and a few new Makefile flags needed).
As an information guide for anyone trying to compile Praat on Mingw, here's what you need to do (or at least what I did in addition to the code changes) 1. Install Mingw (obviously) 2. Get the DirectX headers (http://mamedev.org/tools/20100102/directx-headers-for-mingw-20100102.zip), and put them in your Mingw include directory 3. Get the Windows SDK, and copy Ks.h and Ksmedia.h from it into your Mingw include directory (for some reason the Mingw ones are broken) 4. Put makefiles/makefile.defs.mingw in makefile.defs in your Windows 32 5. Copy audio/Makefile.mingw to audio/Makefile (this is to compile the Windows version of the libraries) You should now be able to compile Praat in Mingw from the command prompt using mingw32-make. The patch is included below.
