I want to try debugging on MS-Windows with gdb. I normally build with MSVC, but I don't see a way to use that executable with gdb (perhaps it's possible with some compiler flag?).
So I'll use MinGW for compiling. MinGW provides gcc and make, so I expect this to work: make -f Make_ming.mak GUI=no DEBUG=yes This gives an error in diff.c: storage size of 'st' isn't known. Hmm. I can work around it by changing the condition in vim.h: /* Use 64-bit stat structure if available. */ #if (defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER >= 1300)) || defined(__MINGW32__) # define HAVE_STAT64 typedef struct _stat64 stat_T; #else typedef struct stat stat_T; #endif So use "struct stat". I wonder why this change is needed. perhaps the #ifdef is wrong? Then it compiles many files but fails when building iscygpty.c . It complains that _WIN32_WINNT and WINVER differ. That's because the build file has: $(OUTDIR)/iscygpty.o: iscygpty.c $(CUI_INCL) $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) iscygpty.c -o $(OUTDIR)/iscygpty.o -U_WIN32_WINNT -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0600 -DUSE_DYNFILEID -DENABLE_STUB_IMPL Overruling _WIN32_WINNT for one file seems like a bad idea, why was this added? But building iscygpty.c with WINVER set to 0x0501 apparently doesn't work. So instead I specify WINVER to be 0x0600. I wonder how it can ever work without that. Perhaps we should make it the default? -- If you don't get everything you want, think of everything you didn't get and don't want. /// Bram Moolenaar -- b...@moolenaar.net -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ an exciting new programming language -- http://www.Zimbu.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
