filesystem patch?
by Farkas Levente 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

hi, did you review my past filesystem patch? in the next week i'm plan to review these packages in that order (it's the dependency order): mingw32-iconv mingw32-termcap mingw32-zlib mingw32-libpng mingw32-libjpeg mingw32-gettext mingw32-glib2 mingw32-freetype mingw32-atk mingw32-pixman mingw32-libxml2 mingw32-fontconfig mingw32-cairo mingw32-pango mingw32-openssl mingw32-pthreads and may be a few other smaller ones. but my next week will be very busy so i don't now when. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

new packages policy
by Farkas Levente 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

hi, it seems i'm getting closer to be able to compile gtk+ for mingw32. unfortunately i spend way too much time with glib1 and gtk-1.2.x, but from this page it's turn out it was just waste of time:-( http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html -------------------------------------- "The GTK+ API was still mostly like GTK+ 1.2.7, which is what was current when this branch was created. Unfortunately, very few of the platform-independent fixes (in the gtk widgets) that went into GTK+ 1.2 since 1.2.7 are present. Unlike GTK+ 1.2 on Unix, GTK+ 1.3.0 on Windows is built to use GLib 2.x. There is no binary distribution of any GLib 1.2 for Windows." -------------------------------------- so i try to compile this version (and not the one in fedora). my question should i put into my own repo or add to your hg repo or just create a new review request? and the same question apply to the next weeks brunch of gstreamer packages (and it's dependencies) too? thanks. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

what's the difference
by Farkas Levente 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

hi, what's the difference between file eg /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/bin/ar /usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-ar they have different size? actually all file in /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/bin/ has a pair in /usr/bin/ with different size (and not link to each other). is this intentional or just some kind of accident? -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Packages in the path to getting a Windows binary of libvirt, built from Fedora

It seems like we should have the base MinGW (Windows cross-compiler) packages in Fedora 11 by the end of this week. This email is to document the additional packages we need to get approved, in order to get the cross-compiled libvirt and virt tools into (or buildable by) Fedora 11.

jpeg, png and tiff
by Farkas Levente 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

hi, what's the current setup with these image libraries? since i see there is jpeg and png but not tiff for mingw although gtk use all of them. now mingw32-gtk use mingw32-png or system png? are you sure about it?? from the build log i see libtiff and libpng installed by some deps. is it sure that mingw32-gtk do not use system libtiff? i just come to that conclusion because gtk+ can't compile without libtiff our --without-libtiff. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

package request: mingw32-libgsf
by Eric Smith 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

My application uses libgsf to read ZIP files, and in the past I've built it against a Windows binary package provided on gnome.org. It would be nice to have a mingw32-libgsf RPM, now that all the other libraries I use are available in other mingw32- RPMs. I've started trying to construct a suitable spec file and build it myself, starting from the Fedora development libgsf SRPM, but it has quickly become apparent that I don't really know what I'm doing. I'll continue to flail away at it, but if anyone who actually has experience with packaging libraries for mingw32 were to beat me to the punch, I wouldn't be the least bit offended. :-) In fact, I'm willing to offer a $100 bounty for a working RPM (with SRPM). It's not a lot, but it would buy a few pizzas and beers. :-) Thanks! Eric

[libgsf PATCH] Support cross-compilation under Fedora MinGW
by Richard W.M. Jones 23 Nov '08

23 Nov '08

Hi, I'm from the Fedora MinGW project (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MinGW) and we are cross-compiling a number of Linux libraries, from Fedora targeting Windows. So I hope this is the right place to post a couple of libgsf patches which enable libgsf to be cross-compiled using Fedora MinGW cross-compiler. The first patch changes the way that libbz2 / bzlib.h is detected. It is my understanding that both the library and the header file are needed in order to enable BZ2 support. However autoconf's AC_CHECK_LIB cannot be used to check whether -lbz2 works on its own on Windows, for rather complex reasons which are better explained by referring to this thread: http://www.nabble.com/failed-tests-AC_CHECK_LIB-td19588119.html#a19589469 So the first patch replaces the pair of tests with an invocation of AC_LINK_IFELSE that tries to compile and link a program with both the header file and a call to the sentinel library function. The second patch, considerably simpler, enables deprecated functions in glib, because otherwise G_WIN32_DLLMAIN_FOR_DLL_NAME isn't defined in gsf/gsf-utils.c. I'm not really familiar with what this macro does, and maybe a better solution is just to not use it if the macro isn't defined. Here is our development repository: http://hg.et.redhat.com/misc/fedora-mingw--devel If we make any updates then you can get the latest specfile and patches by clicking 'manifest', then 'libgsf'.

Policy on naming of implibs
by Richard W.M. Jones 23 Nov '08

23 Nov '08

I think we need a policy of naming implibs. For example, the standard build of bzip2 builds a DLL and implib called 'bz2-1.dll' and 'bz2.dll.a' respectively. That's not in itself a problem because you can link with such a library by hand using: gcc foo.c -lbz2 GCC apparently checks for both 'bz2.dll.a' and 'libbz2.dll.a', so it works in this situation. However libtool won't look for 'bz2.dll.a' at all, only an implib beginning with 'lib*'. If you try to specify the library by giving the full path to libtool, then libtool assumes it's a static library. The only way around this was to rename 'bz2.dll.a' -> 'libbz2.dll.a' which fixes my libtool problem. (Leaving the DLL with the same name was fine). http://hg.et.redhat.com/misc/fedora-mingw--devel/?cs=e18117547659 So I think we need a policy that implibs need to be named after the pattern 'lib*.dll.a'. By my reckoning this problem affects: mingw32-bzip2 (fixed by the changeset above) mingw32-readline mingw32-pdcurses Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any software inside the virtual machine.

libwx_baseu trouble rebuilding mingw32-nsis on Fedora 9 x86_64

strange mingw32-runtime-3.15.1-1 build error (imho it's a bug)

hi, i don't really understand the mingw32-runtime-3.15.1-useconds_t.patch. on fedora-9 this patch is required since otherwise got this errors: -------------------------------------------------- i686-pc-mingw32-gcc -c -I/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer -I. -I./.. -I./../include -nostdinc -iwithprefixbefore include -I ./../../w32api/include usleep.c -o usleep.o usleep.c:29: error: expected ')' before 'useconds' make[1]: *** [usleep.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/mingwrt-3.15.1-mingw32/mingwex' make: *** [mingwex] Error 1 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.50915 (%build) -------------------------------------------------- while on rhel/centos-5 with this patch i get this error -------------------------------------------------- i686-pc-mingw32-gcc -c -I/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer -I. -I./.. -I./../include -nostdinc -iwithprefixbefore include -I ./../../w32api/include usleep.c -o usleep.o usleep.c:32: error: redefinition of typedef 'useconds_t' /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/sys/types.h:119: error: previous declaration of 'useconds_t' was here make[1]: *** [usleep.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/lfarkas/rpm/BUILD/mingwrt-3.15.1-mingw32/mingwex' make: *** [mingwex] Error 1 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.38097 (%build) -------------------------------------------------- but without this patch it's compile clean!? also the comment in this patch: /* RWMJ: This is defined in our local sys/types.h but for some reason * isn't picked up. */ is also annoying. what's more i already build exactly the same packages ie. mingw32-runtime-3.15.1-1 on the same centos-5.2 and build _without_ the above error!??? so the only thing what can i assume that on fedora and the first time on centos i use mingw32-runtime-bootstrap-1-4. which means mingw32-runtime-bootstrap-1-4 not equivalent with mingw32-runtime-3.15.1-1 and imho it's a bug and should have to be fix. ps. anyway mingw32-runtime-3.14-6 build without this error. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

hi, i need some hep from some rpm experts!:-( i spend way too much time with it so please someone tell me the reason. suppose i write into mingw32-macros.mingw32: --------------------------------------- %_mingw32_cflags -O2 -g --------------------------------------- the values are not important just there is no line break in it, but if i write: --------------------------------------- %_mingw32_cflags -O2 \\\ -g --------------------------------------- the compile, install etc and: VAR="`rpm --eval %{_mingw32_cflags}`";set|grep VAR then the outputs: --------------------------------------- VAR=$'-O2 \\\n -g ' VAR='-O2 -g' --------------------------------------- ^^^ you see if there is a line break then there is an extra "$" at the beginning! why? and how can i remove it? it's not a problem here, but it's a real pain for much longer and complicated macro. thanks in advance. yours. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Heads up: Rebuild
by Richard W.M. Jones 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

I'm going to rebuild everything overnight with -mms-bitfields and the new mingw32-filesystem package (>= 36). I'm also going to rebuild everything against Fedora 10, whereas previously I was building against Fedora 9. The practical upshot is that at some point tomorrow, if all goes well, the repository will move from: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/mingw/fedora-9/ to: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/mingw/fedora-10/ Of course, since this is only a temporary repository until we get packages into Fedora proper, you weren't relying on this repository for anything important ..... right? Which reminds me, we need people to review packages: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=mingw32 The most urgent ones are mingw32-gcc, mingw32-w32api and mingw32-runtime.

OCaml Windows cross-compiler
by Richard W.M. Jones 15 Nov '08

15 Nov '08

I got OCaml cross-compiling. Only the native-code compiler is supported, since I didn't think it was worth trying to get the byte-code compiler to work (what's the point if you have the native compiler?) There are some OCaml libraries and programs already in the repository. I'm working towards getting virt-top, virt-df and/or virt-ctrl to cross-compile. At the moment ocamlfind hasn't been ported. Certainly one problem is that many OCaml packages don't expect to have only a native-code compiler. They will expect to have only the byte-code compiler, eg. for platforms which didn't have a native code generator, but not a platform where byte-compiling is impossible. In particular many build scripts expect that 'ocamlc -c *.mli' will work. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.

NSPR & NSS in MinGW
by Richard W.M. Jones 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

To MinGW users: I've added NSPR (Netscape Portable Runtime) and NSS (Netscape's security library) to the Mercurial repo, but at present neither of them are really working. NSPR - This builds if I use 'rpmbuild', but it doesn't build within 'mock'. It's probably some very trivial difference, but I spent about a day on it and just couldn't see what it was, so if someone else would like to take a look, please be my guest. (Note that just building isn't enough - the problem is that it must build within mock and yum). NSS - Like NSPR, this has an on-crack custom build system. Actually, the build system is even more crazy than NSPR. I had a go at this, but it's going to take a great deal of work, probably even more than the work I did for OpenSSL. In the long term, I need both in order to add https:// URI support to libcurl, which is a dependency for the oVirt standalone client. In the meantime, I'm working on a cut-down libcurl library which will lack https and a few other features.

I have switched the compiler to DW2 recently. Also, one pitfall that has hit us, and that you need to avoid, is the inability for C++ exceptions to cross DLL boundaries. You need to provide support for that from the ground up, before you get too loaded down with DLL's which can't support exceptions. Here [http://inkscape.modevia.com/] is the stuff we use daily. The compilers and "lib bundles" are located in win32libs.

Debugging

And another one ... Debugging cross-compiled programs has proved a real problem. I've mainly been doing it with printf statements, which is certainly not ideal. http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/7cbjv/windows_cross_compiler_p… Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.

[PATCH 0/5] libssh2: Enable cross-compilation from Linux to Windows using MinGW
by Richard W.M. Jones 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

These five patches enable libssh2 to be cross-compiled from a Fedora Linux system to Windows using Fedora's new MinGW cross-compiler: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MinGW After applying these patches, you can cross-compile from a Fedora system using: autoreconf mingw32-configure --enable-shared make and you will end up with libssh2-1.dll and assorted Windows executables in the example/simple directory, which you can test using Wine or Windows. I tested the example programs using Wine and an OpenSSH sshd and they appeared to work fine.

Re: gtk2 on epel won't be easy

In response to this thread: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fedora-mingw/2008-October/000001.h… As the packages get added to Fedora CVS, I'm requesting EL-5 branch and building them. Part of the reason is that oVirt _may_ wish to build a Windows client on RHEL/EPEL, and they have requested this. Another reason is that there seems to be interest from CentOS users. It'd be useful to have EPEL co-maintainers though to make this task easier. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.

I added this a while back. It needs a bit more work: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Windows_cross_compiler By coincidence, reddit just picked the story up. The thread is here: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/7cbjv/windows_cross_compiler_p… Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any software inside the virtual machine.

I thought this list was 'a bit quiet'. Turns out that although I am an administrator of the list, I hadn't been subscribed to the list ... I'll try and reply to emails that I find in the archive now - my apologies that the replies won't be threaded correctly.

Re: std library - poco compilation problem mingw - fedora10

In response to: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fedora-mingw/2008-November/000010.… > b) poco is already prepared for cross-compilation to mingw (under > cygwin) MinGW and Cygwin are wholly separate and different things. Do not confuse them. MinGW is just a compiler and some Win32 header files. Cross- compilation using MinGW (which is what the Fedora MinGW project is all about) uses Win32 API calls, and so Unix programs require significant porting efforts to work. eg. If your Unix program calls 'fork(2)', then forget it - it's never going to work under Win32 API until that dependency is removed or replaced. Cygwin is, essentially, a Unix emulator for Windows. Unix programs can usually be compiled directly for Cygwin with no changes, because Cygwin offers the familiar Unix/POSIX API to programs (by emulating it at great cost, including features like 'fork' which are not found on Windows and expensive to emulate). Cygwin has fatal licensing problems which prevent commercial use, apart from being inefficient, which is why we didn't go that route. So back to your program ... > i686-pc-mingw32-g++ -Iinclude > -I/home/andrzej/poco/poco-1.3.3p1/CppUnit/include > -I/home/andrzej/poco/poco-1.3.3p1/Foundation/include > -I/home/andrzej/poco/poco-1.3.3p1/XML/include > -I/home/andrzej/poco/poco-1.3.3p1/Util/include > -I/home/andrzej/poco/poco-1.3.3p1/Net/include -DPOCO_BUILD_HOST=linx > -v -mno-cygwin -D_WIN32 -DMINGW32 -DWINVER=0x500 > -DPOCO_NO_FPENVIRONMENT -DPCRE_STATIC -DPOCO_THREAD_STACK_SIZE > -DFoundation_Config_INCLUDED -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is your problem - the cross-compilers that we ship are configured so they never look in /usr/include or /usr/local/include. Header files in /usr/include are for the build system (Fedora), and are wrong for the host system (Windows). If you specifically add /usr/include and /usr/local/include back in, then you'll pick up the wrong headers, and anything can go wrong from there. I gather that you didn't write Poco's build system, but you need to go back and find out why it's including this. Probably (as demonstrated by the MinGW / Cygwin confusion above), Poco either hasn't been ported to MinGW, or needs some different options to compile under a true MinGW cross-compiler. If that doesn't help, try reading my porting notes: http://camltastic.blogspot.com/2008/10/mingw-compile-software-for-windows.h… (or maybe I'd better say, read them again, because I see you put a comment there already).
