Re: 32bit GS on 64bit Win rebuild base from src

[Giah de Barag]

Goal:

1. Install installer on Win64 (w2k8 r2 x64)
2. Build base


Question:

It crashes in configure. Can I achieve the above goal with a change in steps 
(below)? Step-by-step instructions sincerely appreciated. Thank you.


Steps:

1. install w2k8 r2 x64 on a vm
2. install gnustep from installers
   gnustep-msys-system-0.30.0-setup.exe
   gnustep-core-0.35.0-setup.exe
   gnustep-devel-1.4.0-setup.exe
3. get source http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/modules/core
4. cd core/base; ./configure


Result:

The FFI test fails. Here are the details.


Building the FFI test:

gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2 -march=i586  -I/GNUstep/Local/Library/Headers 
-I/GNUstep/Local/Library/Headers -I/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers 
-I/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers  -shared-libgcc 
-L/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries -L/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries 
-L/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries -L/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries 
conftest.c -lffi -lbfd -liberty -lintl  -lpthread -lz


Running the FFI test:

Breakpoint 2, main () at config/config.ffi.c:39
