Hi,
I tried to build libgda-4.0.1 under MinGW/MSYS on Windows.
I managed to build it (although only the static version), but one change was needed to avoid the

I still did not have the time to check why the DLL aren't built...
 

redefinition of type uint8_t. 

Below is the patch I used.
Why is uint8_t defined there anyway? Are there other win32 targets that don't have it at that point?

It's redefined because I used some code from a RFC to compute the HMAC_MD5 transformation which needs it.

I finally tried the native Windows XP compilation and I've managed to make it compile the DLL by defining the missing OBJDUMP environment variable:
export  OBJDUMP=objdump
./configure .....

Note that I found that to debug the libtool script it's usefull to add "set -x" at the beginning...

However I had to let the tools/web-server.c as it currently is (that is without your patch) because it did not know the uint8_t type otherwise.
