Re: [gnome-db] Compiling with MinGW under MSYS

[Brecht Sanders <brecht sanders org>]

Hi,
I just tried to compile both new releases (4.05 and 4.1.3) and both fail
with the output below.
I'm on the official MinGW 4.4.0.
The errors mention missing files, but the names of these files are identical
for both libgda 4.05 and 4.1.3.
Any idea what is happening?
    

I don't know. However it looks like all the reported missing files are
actually flags that are passed on the command line, so you can try
removing those flags, and then see why there are there (specially if
they are only present for the MySQL provider).
  

You're right!
Whe I replace the line below in providers/mysql/Makefile:
    MYSQL_CFLAGS = "-I/mingw/include/mysql" "-D_WINDOWS" "/MT" "/Zi" "/O2" "/Ob1" "/D" "NDEBUG" "-DDBUG_OFF" "/wd4996"
with:
    MYSQL_CFLAGS = "-I/mingw/include/mysql" "-D_WINDOWS" "-DNDEBUG" "-DDBUG_OFF"
it does compile nicely.
Any idea why it uses these Windows-style parameters (using slash)?

Now I have linking problems though:
