Re: [ANN] GMP 2.0.2 binaries for cygwin/mingw

[Serguei DACHIAN]

        Dear Mumit

I've tried to install mingw32 version under my CygWin + egcs1.1.2 + mingw-libs,
and to compile with -mno-cygwin switch.  While compiling a sample program
"factorize.c" (comes from gmp-2.0.2 source distribution, from demos
directory) I got the following errors:
>
> C:\WINDOWS\TEMP/cclVNmrv.o(.text+0x629):factorize.c: undefined
> reference to `random'
> C:\WINDOWS\TEMP/cclVNmrv.o(.text+0x636):factorize.c: undefined
> reference to `random'
> /usr/local/libmingw32/libgmp.a(random.o)(.text+0x39):random.c: undefined
> reference to `random'
> /usr/local/libmingw32/libgmp.a(random.o)(.text+0x40):random.c: undefined
> referen ce to `random'
> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
>
What is going wrong here???  Normally I have no problems for compiling with
-mno-cygwin.

Am I doing something wrong ???

Regards,
                Serguei.

"random" is non-ANSI and non-POSIX (it's BSD), and is not part of MS
CRTDLL. It is however provided in libiberty.a, and all you need to do 
is to add -liberty.

BTW: Why is libiberty called libiberty, what's it's origin and can it
be considered a misc-compatibility-functions library?

It's a play on words, sort of.  In Unix, library "foo" has file
"libfoo.a" and uses "-lfoo" to link, so with libiberty, you end up
typing "-liberty" on your command lines all the time.  The idea was to
liberate the programmer from the deficiencies of the OS-supplied
library by fixing or supplying whatever the OS lacked, like strdup,
which isn't available in Ultrix, and memcmp, which isn't available in
SunOS.

Thanks a lot for that explanation. I already thought of something like
that while typing -liberty. :)

[ANN] GMP 2.0.2 binaries for cygwin/mingw

[Mumit Khan]

I've uploaded a new set of binaries for GNU Arbitrary Precision Library
(GNU MP version 2.0.2) for cygwin b20.1 and Mingw32 built with egcs-1.1.2.

This release only provides a static library only; GMP DLL causes
problems and the fix is not trivial.

The Cygwin version passes all tests; the Mingw32 fails one test that
uses the Unix pipe function (but a rewritten one, using _pipe, passes).

For Cygwin:
  ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin/ports/
For Mingw32:
  ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/mingw32/ports/

Mumit

Thanks, now it works fine.  But now I don't understand why it worked when I
was compiling without -mno-cygwin switch, using the CygWin version of GMP,
and not specifying -liberty ???

Mingw and Cygwin uses different runtime libraries; random exists in the
Cygwin runtime and does not exist in Mingw runtime. Nothing weird about
it.
