RE: [Gcl-devel] Many warnings removed for Windows port using gcc 3.2 - Unix people beware

[Billinghurst, David (CRTS)]

OK.  Same result - CVS gcl builds OK on win2k using gcc-3.2.  I saw the same problem with

cmpinclude.h, which I "fixed" by copying cmpinclude.h into the ming/include directory.

I suspect that there are some (gcc or msys) path issues to fix here.

 

cvs maxima builds, but there are two new testsuite failures (below).  Stupidly I didn't check

to see if gcc-2.95 gave the same result (and I blew that compiler away).  I will reinstall and

try again later.

 

Error(s) found in rtest6a.mac: (4)
Error(s) found in rtest9.mac: (61)

/* ********************** Problem 4. *************** */

The result is
[A > 0]

Hi there.

 

I made many changes today mainly to remove hordes of compiler warnings under Windows.  There are still quite a few to go.  I can't guarantee that I have not accidentally trodden on other platforms so please check.

 

GCL builds with the new Mingw 2 package (uses gcc 3.2) provided that optimisation is set to "-O2" and "-fomit-frame-pointer" is omitted.  Maxima doesn't build because for some reason or other "cmpinclude.h" is not found (when compiling "sloop.lsp"), even though it was installed.

 

Anyway - 1 AM is too late for me so I'm quitting for the day.

 

Cheers

 

Mike Thomas.
