Windows build

Hi all.

I want to learn more about GNU Smalltalk.

I'm at this page (building-gst-guides), sub-topic: Windows: MinGW/MSYS.
Link no. 3 seems not there any more, where can I get it? (InfoZIP: Download from ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/tools/zip/info-zip/WIN32/zip232xN.zip)

I read about Windows port is under development. Can I get it somewhere?

Thanks.

There's a new place:

ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/win32/zip232xn.zip

However, I'm working on updating the build instructions under Win32,
using the rpm packages in Cygwin and/or cross-compilation from Linux.
This one will be able to reuse GTK+ packages from Fedora and cut heavily
on the build time. Stay tuned.

Re: Windows build

Hi.

Thanks for helping.

I have tcl and tk built. GST make gives errors.

../libtool: lib: command not found
make[2]: *** [library.la] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/Jason/Smalltalk-3.1/lib-src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Jason/Smalltalk-3.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I rebuild several times, I'm getting same errors. What can I do?

Are there documentations on building GST as dll?

Thanks.

This is not enough output to diagnose.

What's your version of libtool?

Re: Windows build

Sorry, I do not know how to check what version of libtools I have.

Where should I find for libtools' version?

Thanks.

Please wait for binary releases to be available.

Re: Windows build

Hi.

Thanks a lot. I want to learn more about the VM. I wish I can learn and modify VM. Therefore, a binary release isn't really what I need. May I know what version of libtools will give a successful build of GST?

Thanks.

I use libtool 2.2.x.

Re: Windows build

Hi, thanks a lot for your help.

I saw this during build: "../libtool: cygpath: command not found". I have my cygwin reinstall.

After that, I got this instead: "cygpath: can't convert empty path".

cygpath: can't convert empty path
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-strict-aliasing -Wno-switch -fno-gcse -fstrict-aliasing -Wwrite-strings -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wno-format -Wpointer-arith -MT getopt.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/getopt.Tpo -c getopt.c -DDLL_EXPORT -DPIC -o .libs/getopt.o

Do you think that this is the problem to my build fail? I got the above several times throughout the build.

Thanks.

Likely, but I have no idea how to fix it. Try restarting the build from
scratch: do "make distclean" and then again "./configure".

Re: Windows build

Hi.

Thanks again. I retry, but getting same problem.

Do you know any trick to know print argument to cygpath? Which path is actually empty? Maybe I can fix it by providing the path.

Thanks.

No, I have no idea since I never saw the error.

Re: Windows build

Hi, sorry for trouble.

I delete the entire folder, rebuild from extracting gst source. The previous error solved. But I'm now pacing another error, which seems to be some problem with the code, or perhaps, different compiler. Compilation of sysdep.c gives errors.

I've recorded a video to show errors I'm facing. gst-1.avi

Thanks.

Thanks, this is easier. :-) For Windows support you should use the
latest version from the git repository. Version 3.1's support of
Windows is very poor (it only works under Cygwin, not MINGW32).

Re: Windows build

Hi,

I got my source through git. But there is no configure, no make. What should I do?

Thanks.

Installing autoconf, automake, libtool, and following what is already
written at http://smalltalk.gnu.org/download/cvs for example?

Re: Windows build

In reply to this post by Paolo Bonzini-2

Hi.

I try to install automake and autoconf, but fail to do so. I think I'd need m4 instal before autoconf and automake.

m4 installation not successful either. I tried with other version of m4, I still got same error. Is there any sequence I need to follow in installing these packages that I'll need to build gst?

Can you show me what I will need (every single one), from scratch to build gst. cygwin, libtool etc. My pc have msys, mingw and others. I'm not sure if they contribute to problem I'm facing. Therefore, I might need to uninstall/delete everything and start all over again.

Thanks for you help.
