Windows compile
maybe someone can tell which versions of libraries can be compiled on mingw32 and work with gtk+-2.20.1?
gettext libiconv glib glibmm gtkmm atk atkmm gtkglext gdkglext cairo cairomm pango pangomm pangocairo guile? dbus? freeglut
etc.???
I nearly have take 2 of the win32 build bits ready to commit... maybe later tonight
great.
and somehow our configure.ac doesn't do pkg-config right if cross compiling with --target/--host
AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM doesn't help neither does setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH or --prefix or whatever
none of the necessary include/lib paths are included when compiling necessary libs are all missing in the command when linking
cant replicate it now because my reinstall of mingw is not complete enough
i used ./autogen.sh --target=mingw32 --host=mingw32 --prefix=/usr/local/mingw32/
and did export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/mingw32/lib/pkgconfig which works with all other packages
I can't say what might be wrong from that description, although I'll not I am using the configure command I put in the WIN32_CROSS_COMPILE.txt file
ok even if I use configure i get no paths. I hacked together a configure command with all the CFLAGS which is too long to post here .... but that's not a solution
and how do you use pkg-config.exe? wine is no option here
I'm using Wine to run pkg-config.exe. My new method doesn't use that, but it still relies on wine in one place - which can probably be avoided too.
I would download the binaries from here:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=windows%3Amingw%3Awin32
if you're building on windows - it'll save a lot of effort; it'd be even better to plug the last few bits (the minus-minus) packages into that framework - it's easy to fork & create your own repos based on that there & submit them back. I'd be happy to poke Fridrich (the maintainer) about that.
no version information anywhere at those suse packages...
But I now see that arch linux has gtk+-2.24.10 for mingw32 so it has to be possible ... my linux box is too weak for all this.
I've committed the jhbuild cross compiler infrastructure to git, and an NSIS based installer script. It might be a little fragile at first, but hopefully we can make it more robust over time - but the only thing left blocking an actual release is to get libreprap working on Windows. After that, I think we should do a 2.0 release.
There's still a problem with the GL window. It doesn't resize properly and takes very long if I load a file.(Win7 64)
https://github.com/tecan/QPrint3D qt might make a good windows alternative was thinking about using GCodeViz with it.
