First libdiesel release
July 30th, 2009
I’ve just made first version of libdiesel library publicly available. I will not release the sources due to personal constraints, but you’re welcome to use compiled version. So far, there is only MinGW32 static version, but I may compile this library for other platform as well. Just leave me a comment.
Mingw on Linux
April 30th, 2009
I’m using mingw for years, but never tried to use it on linux machine as crosscompiler. Today I’ve had first experience. First thing I’ve noticed is how actually easy to install such environment – there is fully automated build script, available from mingw site. Pros: – Speed. Native environment vs MSys is much faster. Cons: – Building Windows things from Linux means to transfer them from one machine to another.
Gettext compilation on MSys
April 11th, 2009
Trying to build gettext library on MSys I’ve got some errors related to pthread. Included readme states you need to have Cygwin for that. For those, who prefer MSys over Cygwin here goes a quick fix:
Add -lpthread to LIBS section in gettext-runtime/src/Makefile and gettext-tools/src/Makefile.
Remove tests target from gettext-runtime/Makefile and gettext-tools/Makefile.
Be happy.

Create MinGW library from dll
April 1st, 2009
For this, you need pexports tool from mingw-utils.
dlltool -D library.dll -d library.def -l library.dll.a
Note, that if dll was built by different environment than gcc, this probably will not work because of the naming conventions. If this the case, read here. Read the rest of this entry »
