Hi all,
so here's my patch for mc on Win32.
Note :
- I took a CVS checkout from 27.Okt as a basis
- MC for Win32 is still far from beeing stable.
- Currently ONLY mingw32 (gcc for Win32) is supported
- You also need glib from Tor Lillqvist's "Gimp for Win32" site
- You also need gettext ( i.e. my gettext port
http://home.a-city.de/franco.bez/gettext/gettext_win32_en.html )
After applying my patch
( running
$> gzip -dc patch-mc-win32.gz | patch -p1
in the mc source directory )
You can build mc.exe by changing to the pc subdir and run
$> make -fMakefile.MIN
************************************
I added the two files
mc/pc/regex.c
mc/pc/regex.h
from the mc-4.1.36 distribution.
This is just a quick fix.
As the new distribution no longer contains
mc/src/regex.h
and
mc/src/regex.c
was giving trouble.
*******************************************
the mingw32 toolchain I use is
based on gcc-2.95.2-1 , winapi-0.1.5 , mingw-runtime-20000203
I built it from source on my Linux box.
it uses "msvcrt" as c-runtime library.
Later versions of mingw should do just fine.
Additionally I'm using my gettext-port
(http://home.a-city.de/franco.bez/gettext/gettext_win32_en.html).
*******************************************
glib was downloaded from Tor Lillqvist's "Gimp for Win32" site.
packages needed:
glib-dev-20001226.zip
libiconv-dev-20001007.zip
these packages contain the Headers, Libs and Win32 Dlls.
the header-files are a problem when using a UN*X based mingw-cross-compiler.
they contain CR/LF line termiation.
In order to convert them to the UN*X style LF line termination a tool like
dos2unix is required.
****************************************
What follows are the comments to my patch.
Ciao,
Franco
