Does gcc on win32 work? (cygwin)
by Scott Kearney · in Technical Issues · 07/19/2003 (7:33 pm) · 3 replies
I'd like to use a free compiler on win32 if possible as I do not have MSVC, has anyone had any experience with getting gcc to work on windows platforms? I haven't tried getting it to work yet, myself, but would like to know if anyone has any head-start in this area.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I'm not familiar with that by name, but I'll look it up. Thanks for the lead!

1) go to your torque directory, and do this:
2) run make -f mk/configure.mk OS=WIN32 COMPILER=GCC2 BUILD=RELEASE
3) run make clean
4) run make
Worked for me.
I have another question for anyone reading this, though... I can't get through a compile of the tools using mingw, gcc 2.95.3-6. what I get is compilation through "Linking map2dif.exe" then a series of undefined reference errors starting in winWindow.cc. (first one, "undefined reference to 'GetStockObject@4'", many more similar)
Anybody have any ideas? thanks!

Hey Scott, you probalby already have it running by now, but in case you don't I have the same situation as you and found a post from last year that described exactly how to do it. (Oct 7, 2002, Garth Dahlstrom). He was talking about downloading something called Msys to provide a shell to mingw, but it turns out it isn't necessary. What it boils down to is 1) go to your torque directory, and do this:
2) run make -f mk/configure.mk OS=WIN32 COMPILER=GCC2 BUILD=RELEASE
3) run make clean
4) run make
Worked for me.
