Hi,
I recently upgraded to gcc 4.5.0 (mingw) as the previous version
gives me segmentation fault when compiling the latest code. After
the upgrade, I found two extra DLL dependencies was introduced:
libstdc++-6.dll (gvim.exe, gvimext.dll)
libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll (gvimext.dll)
I created a patch for mingw makefile to makes it possible to link
those libraries statically. A new control variable was introduced:
STATIC_STDCPLUS
Set that to "yes" would link those libraries statically. The
default setting is "no" (default to the current behavior). Please
note for old gcc (before 4.5.x), the setting should be kept as "no"
as one of the link flag used (-static-libstdc++) is not available
until gcc 4.5.x.
The patch also splits the original WINDRES variable to several parts
so it's easier to tune that setting from command line:
WINDRES : The command itself
WINDRES_CC/WINDRES_CXX : Name of the preprocessor
WINDRES_FLAGS : Command line options for windres
The rationale behind the change is: I use make from cygwin to call
mingw compiler/linker, instead of using mingw make. In such
scenario, the full path to CC should be cygwin style, while the full
preprocessor path for windres, though identical to CC, should be
Windows style (since windres is a Windows executable). What a mess!
Breaking up WINDRES setting helps a lot since it gives me a lot of
flexibility to tune that setting from command line.
As a side note, windres used to accept cygwin style path, it changes
after I upgraded to the latest release.
Regards!
