I recently ported a mixed C/C++/Fortran project to Windows using cmake and MinGW. The project has multiple optional libraries, a few of these libraries are written in fortran, and gfortran seems to work fine for compiling them. I usually build statically, but I also support shared library builds. However, one of the libraries is not linking for me shared, although it is fine when built statically. The issue is that the library is not complete by itself, it has a single call back into the main code for some reason. Of course, this call is undefined when the library is built because it's a circular dependency. ld lets that reference be undefined when the library is built statically on Windows, or shared on Linux, or statically on Linux, but when the library is built shared on Windows it fails. Is there anything I can do?

If I switch to using static libstdc++ and libgcc the process starts as fast as with VS. However, that change means larger executables and, worse, problems with exception propagation across dlls and (AFAIK) ownership conflicts with certain objects managed by libstdc++ and libgcc. Process start time is a problem here because the project (a compiler) contains a test suite that consists of thousands of test cases, each requiring a process execution. How could I improve process start time without the problems related to static runtime libraries? (The larger executable size I can live with, not the other problems) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ MinGW-users mailing list MinGW-users-5NWGOfrQmne</pre> Óscar Fuentes 2013-06-11T10:12:06 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.user/42257 <pre>I note that there are loads of color schemes available for vim.

It is not the core compiler, because the same g++ version on Linux does a job as good as VS, if not better. It is not exception handling code either, because disabling exceptions makes just a bit of a difference. Finally, I also discarded memory handling as a cause. There is no multithreading nor any OS-intensive work. The C++ application is a JIT compiler. The compilation part is slower than VC by a 1.1 factor. That is acceptable. But while executing the generated bytecode the slowdown factor is larger than 3. The compiler creates an array of funcion pointers and the interpreter just walks the array calling those functions. Each function does a fairly simple job (like "take 2 numbers from the stack, add them and put the result on the stack".) The obvious suspect is some Windows-specific compiler intrinsic that could be implemented on a suboptimal way.

I'm getting errors after about the first hour of installing. My investigation found this gem: Cerbero is a python application, or at least it calls them. In main.py, among the first lines are: / def __init__(self, args): if user_is_root(): self.log_error(_("ERROR: cerbero can't be run as root"))/ Well, I'm not root, per se, /whoami/ says /Administrator./. But the use instuctions for cerbero say I should enter the root password when prompted. I'm never prompted (at least not in the first hour). So, is Windows Administrator MinGW root? If not, does Administrator have root privileges? Do I need to create a non-root user id? If so, how?

I want to secure the installation as much as possible. My problem is related to the mapping between MSYS-UNIX permissions / NTFS permissions. For example: I know that $HOME must be writable by everyone, to permit the profile creation. So, NTFS write permissions are necessary in that folder. What other directories are necessary? What are the minimum WRITE permissions in MSYS? I will try to match with NTFS. Thanks a lot for your time.

In many cases, the builds fail until I add some extra "#include &lt;windows.h&gt;". To illustrate, the following code compiles successfully using w32api-3, but fails using w32api-4.0-1 unless windows.h is included before objbase.h: #include &lt;objbase.h&gt; int main() { return 0; } In this particular case, objbase.h by itself includes rpc.h which includes windows.h, which indirectly introduces an rpc*.h header with undeclared types that come later in the rpc.h. I'm not sure why it works with w32api-3. Is this change by design? What is the correct practice for programmers? Should windows.h be included before any other w32api headers (except for winsock2.h, which must precede windows.h, to prevent accidental winsoch.h inclusion)?

This is, obviously, not right. I am Administrator on a WInXP machine (VM really). I installed (as Administrator) from mingw-get-inst-20120426.exe. During the install, I chose every option and elected to download latest packages. Installed to c:\MinGW. I checked my Start-&gt;Programs-&gt;Mingw-&gt;MinGW Shell properties. it is starting C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat and the start-in directory is C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin. Note I do not have an msys entry in my programs list. I have determined that / is C:\MinGW\msys\1.0. When I run msys.bat I get a MinGW prompt. Entering echo $HOME says /c. And there is no directory named /home. echo $USERNAME = Administrator and echo $LOGNAME = Administrator. Can someone tell me what I did to end up with no $HOME? Do I need to make a *nix user? Or perhaps remove MinGW and create a non-admin XP user and use that user to reinstall MinGW? ___________</pre> Wesley J.

A simple test case is easy - I just use Python's subprocess module to run C:\Msys\bin\sh C:\MyScripts\script.sh However, this does not seem to set up the msys shell environment correctly - gcc is not in the PATH.

The problem is basically that the msys /etc/profile does some essential things (setting PATH) but also some unnecessary ones (changing directory). I can't easily just use --login and change directory in my script, as to do that I'd need to convert the current directory name from Windows form to msys form (there's no equivalent of cygpath under msys - is that right?)
