Hi, Here are some remarks about building gnustep-base on windows(mingw-w64):
$>./configure --prefix=/GNUstep --enable-libffi --with-default-config=/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf ... checking for socklen_t... no ... That's not true since socklen_t is defined as int in header <ws2tcpip.h>. Unfortunately I dont' know autotools very well so I cannot provide any patch but basically configure should be adapted to include this header when testing on mingw platforms. result is we have lots of warnings like : NSFileHandle+GNUstepBase.m: In function '-[NSFileHandle(GNUstepBase) initAsServerAtAddress:service:protocol:]': NSFileHandle+GNUstepBase.m:176: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 3 of 'getsockname' differ in signedness c:/developer/mingw-ng/mingw32/lib/gcc/../../i686-w64-mingw32/include/winsock2.h:1300: note: expected 'int *' but argument is of type 'unsigned int *' NSFileHandle+GNUstepBase.m: In function '-[NSFileHandle(GNUstepBase) socketAddress]': NSFileHandle+GNUstepBase.m:205: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 3 of 'getsockname' differ in signedness c:/developer/mingw-ng/mingw32/lib/gcc/../../i686-w64-mingw32/include/winsock2.h:1300: note: expected 'int *' but argument is of type 'unsigned int *' So the workaround is to manually edit Headers/Additions/GNUstepBase/config.h #define HAVE_SOCKLEN_T 1 You also need to change the variable type in Source/Additions/NSFileHandle+GNUstepBase.m from unsigned int to socklen_t -unsigned int size = sizeof(sin); +socklen_t size = sizeof(sin); Then I got an error in Tools/gdomap.c: gdomap.c:4599: error: 'uint32_t' undeclared (first use in this function) So same fix as before I have included <stdint.h> in __MINGW32__ section #ifdef __MINGW32__ +#include <stdint.h> ... Another remark, I was curious to test a dlfcn implementation on win32 http://code.google.com/p/dlfcn-win32/ so after running configure again, dlfcn.h is well detected however during linking -ldl is not added to command line so I get undefined references: Creating library file: ./obj/libgnustep-base.dll.a obj/libgnustep-base.obj/objc-load.m.o: In function `_objc_dynamic_link': C:\Developer\Mingw-NG\home\Vincent\build_GNUstep\gnustep-base\Source/dynamic-load.h:65: undefined reference to `dlopen' obj/libgnustep-base.obj/objc-load.m.o: In function `_objc_dynamic_error': C:\Developer\Mingw-NG\home\Vincent\build_GNUstep\gnustep-base\Source/dynamic-load.h:94: undefined reference to `dlerror' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status And my final issue is about Install directory because everything is installed in /GNUstep/Local ... but I want it to be in /GNUstep/System. HOW CAN I CHANGE THAT ? For my next remarks I will try to post patch instead of writing emails _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
