Re: [Vala] [windows] valac fails to call gcc?

[Mihail Naydenov <mlists ymail com>]

build 0.3.5 (Have not tested 0.3.4)

plus

adding "cmdline += " " + pkgflags.strip ();" @ line 96 in gobject/valaccodecompiler.vala

and 

using --cc=gcc to set gcc as the c compiler

WORKS fine with MSys! 

 

10x!

PS Have not ran all test because tests/testrunner.sh reports a problem about missing command (pipefail) from the default bash in msys.

After installing bash 3.1 (faild to compile 3.2 + pathes), tests/testrunner.sh reports nothing, but also does nothing!

Having compiled the lates build (0.3.5) I must report that the problem still exists in the same form.

Yes. AFAICT it is the captured output from pkg-config that contains a newline which must be stripped.
I made the following change in gobject/valaccodecompiler.vala at line 96:
cmdline += " " + pkgflags.strip ();

Is there a Vala package for Windows that is downloadable? (Even non-fully working?) Last time I looked, there was not a working one, and compilation was hard due to the versions of various libs in Cygwin.

I built one 0.3.4 available at http://code.google.com/p/gtkaml/downloads/list (mingw).
Contains the above change

TIA,

M
