Re: Unsupported feautures in mingw

Hi

 

At this moment I don't have access to to files and can reproduce the errors.

>  Are these "errors" compile time errors or run time errors?

 

Compile time errors. Mainly undefined procedures etc. Also 1 *.h files is not found. From what I have seen so far, a lot of them on *.c files within the /gl directory. Without deep analyses, I guess almost or even all problems are within the GUI part of PSPP. But I didn't succeed in getting the program compiled yet.

 

For instance "ftello" and "fseeko" are reported as undefined before first use.

 

Have fun

The mingw build certainly used to work, at least the majority of its
functionality worked not too long ago.

Can you give us some more information about these problems.  Are these
"errors" compile time errors or run time errors? Or exactly what
problem are you seeing?

    Currently I am looking at Mingw as option for a windows port of PSPP. After
    dumping the Cygwin integration and working with plain Mingw this may work.
    However, I get a lot of errors. One of the errors is about "ftello". After
    google-ing a bit I found:
    http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/ftello.html
    On other problem is fseeko and SIGTERM etc. Here I found:
    http://www.radiance-online.org/pipermail/radiance-dev/2005-September/000644.html

    I guess this, and other problems like these, have to be fixed within PSPP
    before mingw can be used. It is for sure this will cost time. On the other
    hand, I don't know if this will result in a usable PSPP/PSPPire version on
    Mingw anyhow.

    What is the PSPP team thinking of it? Is it usefull to have a further look
    at Mingw, and will the team try to solve the issues, or should I better
    stop my efforts to compile PSPP on Mingw?
