Error while building the mingw sh-coff cross compiler

Error while building the mingw sh-coff cross compiler

[Rekha Deshmukh]

Hi all!

The following error was observed while building the mingw cross compiler for sh-coff. The sources I have used are binutils-2.13, gcc-3.2-20020807 and newlib-1.10.0. While make all-gcc the following error occurs. I have used the mingw native compiler which was built with latest mingw-runtime and w32api i.e mingw-runtime-2.0 and w32api-1.5 for this cross-compiler.

make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2


When observed the erroneous line I found the following sentence is
			_VARIANT_BOOL bool; 
in /usr/<mingw native compiler>/include/objidl.h file where _VARIANT_BOOL is typedef to short.
This error does not occur if I use the mingw native compiler which is built using mingw-runtime-2.0-20020430 and w32api-1.4-2 sources. 
Please guide me on this.

Delete that line.  It has been #if O'd out in CVS sources. It causes problems
now because build process include stdbool.h which defines bools as _Bool which
is a standard builtin type.

RE: Error while building the mingw sh-coff cross compiler

[Nitin Gupta, Noida]

Comment the line objidl.h:309 
_VARIANT_BOOL bool;

It is the part of the union _ANONYMOUS_UNION 
and I think this "unnamed field" does not solve 
any purpose. Moreover the latest MSDN 
document about this union describe this field
as _obselete_. This needs to be fixed 
in mingw-runtime

Regards.
Nitin.
