Thread: Makefiles for building with mingw32 on win32
Makefiles for building the win32 parts with the native (mingw32) mode of gcc.

Your patch has been added to the PostgreSQL unapplied patches list at:
http://candle.pha.pa.us/cgi-bin/pgpatches
I will try to apply it within the next 48 hours.

Yes, with "C compiler cannot create executables.". > It would be a whole lot prettier to make this work I agree that it would be "prettier", but I am not willing to make enourmous efforts myself (i. e. learn several new tools and langauges like awk, m4) for this.

I assume you mean getting
- setting-weird-environment-variables
- calling ./configure with weird parameters
- calling make with parameters
- hack configure.in
- execute autoconf
to work, right?

Ok. As I said, I need somebody who is knowledgable in autoconf and Cygwin whom
I can bug, or better yet, who just steps forward and invests an hour or two to
do this, document it and submit a patch.
Volunteers/helpers are wery welcome, also in PM, of course.
later,
Gerhard

Can we actually get configure to work on Win32, and if we can, why do we have other Win32 makefiles? I don't understand why Peter E was saying we should use configure either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > On Wed, Sep 05, 2001 at 11:19:20PM -0400, Bruce Momjian wrote: > > > > We are waiting to see if you can get the existing Win32 makefiles to > ^^^ erhm!! > > work on both compilers, right? > > I assume you mean getting > - setting-weird-environment-variables > - calling ./configure with weird parameters > - calling make with parameters > - hack configure.in > - execute autoconf > > to work, right? > > > > [me:] > > > Makefiles for building the win32 parts with the native (mingw32) mode of gcc > > Ok.

Bruce Momjian writes: > Can we actually get configure to work on Win32, and if we can, why do we > have other Win32 makefiles? I don't understand why Peter E was saying > we should use configure either. mingw32 is the "minimal GNU environment for Win32" -- sort of like Cygwin ultra-light. As a consequence it should work to run configure on it. In fact, we already have checking for Cygwin environment... no checking for mingw32 environment... no So I'd be interested to know what happens when you do try it. Also, what would be the advantage of the mingw32 specific makefiles that you sent, versus just using the win32 native ones that we already have? > > PS: I'm trying to subscribe to pgsql-cygwin, but it looks as if Majordomo is in > > a bad mood again. Whom would I write to if I think it is broken? Probably pgsql-cygwin-owner@postgresql.org. But the lists should be back up by now. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net http://funkturm.homeip.net/~peter

I think we shouldn't do this, unless someone tries and fails to make
configure work in this context. So far I've not heard any reason that
configure couldn't work...
regards, tom lane
In talking to others, it seems people would like to concentrate on getting configure to work on your platform rather than adding another makefile. Can we assist in that or is that not a possible solution? > Makefiles for building the win32 parts with the native (mingw32) mode of gcc. > Currently, only libpq is implemented because I only cared for that :-) > Supports cross-compilation and includes documentation updates.

"C compiler cannot create executables." I'll try to sort this out. The current configure script doesn't know anything about mingw32. It doesn't add the "-mno-cygwin" option and it still tries to link against libcrypt and libcygipc. I'll try to sort this out on the pgsql-cygwin list, to which now, I finally managed to subscribe.

[...] Bruce, it would be a solution, but it takes more effort, too. I would very much appreciate it if you and the others that are familiar with the build process could assist me with the autoconf stuff.

Does this mean with these patches people can compile PostgreSQL on WinNT using something free like Bloodshed's Dev-C++? (er... www.bloodshed.net if anyone's interested, it includes mingw32 with the install). My only comment is "at last" if this can be made to work.
