Building on MSYS2 (MinGW) is broken #8

Closed ghost closed 1 year ago

ghost commented 1 year ago

I inspected configure.ac and I found it has support for MSYS2 (mingw32 target) even though it will use GTK by default. But the support for MSYS2 seems to be very broken.

Please have a look at #7. I have to edit configure.ac to comment out check_pthreads="yes" (yes, I know it's an ugly hack). The configuration is fine now but when I build the code, so many problems arise.

p/s: I know dwindows has makefile.mingw but I think I should inform you about this.

I do not use configure when building and testing with mingw32/64... I use the mingw makefile you referenced and it works for me. Why do you need to use configure?

If there is a configure script it's normal to go with it first. I took time before I discovered makefile.mingw and I think a lot of people is like me. Frankly speaking I have no needs for the configure script since I have makefile.mingw already working for me. But after a quick look at dw.h I found it's supported to build dwindows with GTK even on Windows so I want to explore it.

Please consider removing cygwin and mingw32 targets from configure.ac as they are actually not supported and not working.

See: #9

Will do!

Ok, cygwin/ming support removed from configure so closing this.
