Building with MinGW
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Currently building with MinGW on Windows is a bit complicated, and these
|
|
assumptions are made:
|
|
|
|
1. Using MinGW as distributed from [http://mingw.org](http://mingw.org).
|
|
2. Using default install path (C:\MinGW)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pre-Build Instructions
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
**Copy the file `specs` into `C:\MinGW\lib\gcc\<version>\specs`**
|
|
|
|
This file was generated with `gcc-dumpspecs > specs`, and then modified to add
|
|
`-lmsvcrt_tidy` to the `*libgcc:` linking section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Copy the file `libmsvcrt_tidy.a` into `C:\MinGW\lib\`** (or someplace else you
|
|
know is included in gcc's library search path).
|
|
|
|
This file is the import library for `msvcrt.dll` that includes the missing
|
|
definitions not included in MinGW's own import library. It was generated via
|
|
`dlltool -v -d msvcrt.def -l libmsvcrt_tidy.a --dllname %windir%\System32\msvcrt.dll`.
|
|
The `msvcrt.def` file is available in the `mingw` directory, too.
|
|
|
|
You can inspect MS' `msvcrt.dll` with `dumpbin /exports C:\Windows\System32\msvcrt.dll`
|
|
in the Visual Studio Command Prompt (not CMD).

|

|
|
Build
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
`cmake ..\.. -G "MinGW Makefiles"`
|
|
`mingw32-make`
|
|
|
|
|
|
Todo
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Obviously this isn't a fun solution. Some help configuring CMake to include the
|
|
import library would be appreciated.
|
|
|
|
Also I'm not certain we should be distributing the import library as part of the
|
|
source. Would it be better to distribute the `msvcrt.def` as part of the source
|
|
and build the import library with `dlltool` as part of the build process?
