Build failure on MinGW

Build failure on MinGW

[Clemens Valens]

Hi,

I try to build Insight-6.8-1 on MinGW current version for Windows XP Pro. Compilation fails on SEH:

tclWinChan.o: in function 'Tcl_MakeFileChannel':
C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\home\mips\arm-none-eabi\install\build\tcl\win/../../../insight

This is my configure command:

$ ./configure --target=arm-none-eabi \
              --prefix=/mingw \
              --enable-interwork \
              --enable-multilib \
              --with-gnu-ld \
              --with-gnu-as \
              --disable-werror

Someone knows how to fix this?

Thanks,
Clemens

Hi,

I can only offer some generic advice right now. There has been some 
discussion of mingw on the mailing list. Have you investigated that?

Otherwise, off the top of my head: I'm pretty sure that the repo's 
built-in Tcl is a no-go on Windows except for Cygwin. As I recall, other 
mingw users were using some sort of system-installed Tcl/Tk/Itcl.

In any case, I would encourage you to try a CVS/GIT snapshot of the repo 
instead of 6.8. One of these days, I'll get around to trying a 7.1 
release...

/me thinks aloud
Hmm... My wife is now working, and her Windows box is largely unused 
nowadays...

/me goes to install VNC on it

I will let you know if I figure out anything. I'm going to try to get 
insight CVS built on this thing.

I tried to follow the instructions from here (including CVS snaphot):
http://sourceware.org/ml/insight/2010-q3/msg00015.html
but they are not detailed enough for me.
I installed ActiveTCL and did manage to compile TCL & TK without errors on MinGW, but what am I supposed to do with it? (I am unfortunately not a linux specialist.)

The build now fails with this error:

Configuring in ./libgui

I guess I can fix this if only I knew what to do with my TCL/TK build.

I managed to get a bit further by putting my TCL/TK build results in the MinGW\msys\1.0\lib (.a & .sh) and MinGW\msys\1.0\bin (dll & exe) folders. Now I have this error:

I do have a file tk8.5.9/xlib/X11/Xlib.h
Do I have to set a path or something?

Here is finally some good news... I have just built/installed/run 
insight -- using ONLY sourceware-supplied sources (i.e., no ActiveState 
Tcl necessary) on mingw w/msys!

There are a few little problems, and I hope to have patches for those 
committed in the next day or two. Mind you, I also haven't tested it 
exhaustively -- just stepped through gdb with register, console, locals, 
stack, breakpoints windows open. Just a sanity check.

PS. Do you want to pursue your current course w/ActiveState tcl? If so, 
I'll need to see the configure/build logs...

Hi Keith,

first of all, thank you very much for the effort you are putting in this! Maybe you should buy your wife an i-Pad, then you can keep her Windows machine.

To be honest I would prefer a solution with only sourceware-supplied sources. I think it would be better not to have to rely on (a lot of) external components, it is allready complicated enough the way it is now. But that's just my humble opinion. The ActiveState Tcl solution is probably very nice & useful for lots of people.

P.S. If I manage to build a working Windows executable, would I be allowed to put it up for downloading? (for free of course)
