[Help-gsl] Buiding GSL on Windows

[lukasz_urbanski]

Hello,
My problem is the following: I want to build GSL to use it with Dev-Cpp or/and 
CodeBlocks (both using mingw-gcc compiler)on Windows. I am running the 
compilation process using Cygwin - here are the commands I use:
"./configure"
"make"
"make install"
As a result, I am obtaining the statics, namely: libgsl.a & libgslblas.a in 
.lib directory and gsl directory containing headers. 
I link my Dev-Cpp project against those libraries. 
My IDE displays the following liker errors:
***********************************************************************************
C:\gsl-1.9\.libs\libgsl.a(error.o)(.text+0x43) In function `gsl_error': 
  [Linker error] undefined reference to `__getreent'

C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\CProj\DevTryOuts\Makefile.win 
[Build Error]  [test.exe] Error 1 
***********************************************************************************
What is more, I end up with several errors after typing "make check" in cygwin. 
Below one can find the list of errors:
***********************************************************************************
===================
1 of 1 tests failed
===================
make[2]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/gsl-1.9'
make[1]: *** [check-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/gsl-1.9'
make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
***********************************************************************************
I was applying the routine described above to GSL 1.8, 1.9, 1.10 & 1.11 
versions - each time with the same result. That's why I am almost sure, it's my 
compiler's settings issue or the configure file might be someway not compliant 
with windoze. I've also tried to compile the whole stuff with mingw - You can 
check the result out below ->
***********************************************************************************
make[2]: *** [prec.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/gsl-1.9/sys'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/gsl-1.9'
make: *** [all] Error 2
***********************************************************************************
Can anybody tell me where did I go wrong?
I would also appreciate any hints or howtos from people who succeed in building 
gsl to use it with windows(mingw).
Best, 
Lukasz
