Hello,
I am building a cross compiler (linux 32 bits -> windows 32 bits).
I have compiled and installed:
- binutils-2.24.51
- gcc-4.9.1 (with mingwrt-4.0.3.1 and w32api-4.0.3.1 headers)
I understand this as the creation of the (bare) gcc-4.9.1 succeeding
with only
the MinGW headers... But I don't understand why you didn't install the full
prebuilt 4.0.3.1 runtime and w32api stuff...
But when I try to configure the w32api library, I got an error:
This I don't understand... Why you are trying to reinvent the wheel and
recreate
the w32api headers and import libraries for the MS DLLs?
I myself have done this last when making a variation of the w32api for
the Win32s
subset used with the Win3.1/Win32s 16/32-bit hybrid opsys in the 1990's...
> Do you have any idea why I am unable to compile this w32api please?
Probably it wasn't thought that someone wants to reinvent the wheel with the
import libraries, if not being one of the MinGW-maintainers. Are you one
of them
but don't know how they will be recreated after some fixes?
