something to try out

[revelator]

done quite a load of work on my mingw compiler suite and it now has a native codeblocks ide included (no it aint the one from there site) i made it myself and it uses the non monolithic wx libraries
it includes all plugins.

+added even more media libraries.
+webkit libs.
+complete port of the mico CORBA compiler.
+fixing up some shared dll code that broke importing.
+new boost libraries.
+removed NET. support for now cause of problems using them with msys shell.

+added xerces C++ XML libraries.
+nvidia CG.
+devil libraries.
+FreeIMage libraries.
+new gcc port version 4.4.2 java allmost in working condition again.
+ICU unicode conversion tools and libraries (freshly built and you they work)

+ruby added.
+openldap added.
+perl added.
+lib3ds added.
+libmng added.
+lua added.

+objective caml added.
+svn added.
+git added (needs the msys shell for the tcl gui) commandline works fine without msys though. I could probably make a startup batchfile for the gui TODO.

+new directx libraries.
+allegro added.
+yodl added (tex tool).

known problems still to solve -> code using autotools cannot link to the devil libraries due to the libs having wrong base adresses ? (reimporting them with dlltool does not fix it). links fine when using codeblocks.

libtool ya need i say more .

when you first install it make sure to add C:\MinGW\bin to path or codeblocks cannot find its dependencies.

if you dont use the commandline script mingwvars.bat execute c:\mingw\service\nsinstall.bat
to enable mico's CORBA naming service if you want to use it natively. (only need to do it once).

in time all this will be added to the installer im building.

codeblocks has a strange bug with localized gcc making warning=errors unless you set this in settings/environment variables KEY=LC_ALL VALUE=en_US.UTF-8

get it at ftp://90.184.233.166:21/MinGW-CB.exe

feel free to browse in that dir for other things you might need like sp5 for msvc6 vista (hacked installer does not work else).

or the processor pack for msvc6.

also holds my current work on quake2xp and realm.

merry x-mas all.

major update.

gtk-doc now working gdamn

ported allmost all of gnomes utilities to win32.
devil image libs fixed (libtool problem) add --image-base,0x100000.

fixed libtool on win32 for good this time (was driving me nuts that it sometimes couldnt determine the right type of the archives so i went nuts on the file magic checks and removed the whole bunch) well figure it out i can now link any linux program as a dll with autotools something tells me the gnu guys spent a bit to much time trying to get those checks to work on a system where a dll = a dll it works beutifully without all this checking.

new libs:

gstreamer ya now go get me some media.

removal of libtool archives (creates more problems than it fixes on windows) ya the infamous .la thingies.

in progress building an installer to set nessesary environment variables etc any volounteers ? im not good with installers .

perl built with mingw and in working condition.

todo: python im getting close now i built the standard python distro with codeblocks but it still depends on msvc7 as opposed to the old msvcrt (need a hack for some fucked up code in old ms crt)
