Removing MinGW dll dependencies
September 14th, 2009
libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
Passing -static-libgcc will remove this dependency for all languages other than C.
Note: C++ exceptions depends on this option.

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.
Simple TLS library
July 10th, 2009
Last few days I’ve been working on a simple TLS wrapper. So far, client side is finished and working lovely. Next task is to include server part, and when it will be finished I think I’ll make the library public.
libpqtypes
May 21st, 2009
In recent post I’ve posted part of my library, that deals with PostgreSQL data in binary format. Today, googling for some hints for implementing binary timestamps in double format I’ve found a reliable library, libpqtypes, which is doing exactly the same as mine (actually more), except it’s purpose is PostgreSQL only.
Don’t know if it’s terrible news or not, as I could adapt my code while using this library and win a lot of time. This is one of the reasons why extensive googling is required before each project.
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 »
