Re: Problem Compiling wxWidgets-2.8.12 Cygwin MinGW32

[Peter Willis]

I managed to change the file :

'wxWidgets-2.8.12/src/common/filefn.cpp'

The changes allow compilation to continue under cygwin using configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --build=i686-pc-cygwin.

The only changes I made were to the definitions of routines 'wxMkdir'     and    'wxRmdir'

My file now reads as follows for those routines:

bool wxMkdir(const wxString& dir, int perm)
{
#if defined(__WXPALMOS__)
    return false;
#elif defined(__WXMAC__) && !defined(__UNIX__)
    return (mkdir( wxFNCONV(dir) , 0 ) == 0);
#else // !Mac
    const wxChar *dirname = dir.c_str();

    // assume mkdir() has 2 args on non Windows-OS/2 platforms and on Windows too
    // for the GNU compiler
#if (!(defined(__WXMSW__) || defined(__OS2__) || defined(__DOS__))) || (defined(__GNUWIN32__) && !defined(__MINGW32__)) || defined(__WINE__) || defined(__WXMICROWIN__)
  #if defined(MSVCRT)
    wxUnusedVar(perm);
    if ( mkdir(wxFNCONV(dirname)) != 0 )
  #else
    if ( mkdir(wxFNCONV(dirname), perm) != 0 )
  #endif
#elif defined(__MINGW32__)
    if ( mkdir(wxFNCONV(dirname)) != 0 )
#elif defined(__OS2__)
    wxUnusedVar(perm);
    if (::DosCreateDir((PSZ)dirname, NULL) != 0) // enhance for EAB's??
#elif defined(__DOS__)
  #if defined(__WATCOMC__)
    (void)perm;
    if ( wxMkDir(wxFNSTRINGCAST wxFNCONV(dirname)) != 0 )
  #elif defined(__DJGPP__)
    if ( mkdir(wxFNCONV(dirname), perm) != 0 )
  #else
    #error "Unsupported DOS compiler!"
  #endif
#else  // !MSW, !DOS and !OS/2 VAC++
    wxUnusedVar(perm);
#ifdef __WXWINCE__
    if ( !CreateDirectory(dirname, NULL) )
#else
    if ( wxMkDir(dir.fn_str()) != 0 )
#endif
#endif // !MSW/MSW
    {
        wxLogSysError(_("Directory '%s' couldn't be created"), dirname);

        return false;
    }

    return true;
#endif // Mac/!Mac
}

bool wxRmdir(const wxString& dir, int WXUNUSED(flags))
{
#if defined(__VMS__)
    return false; //to be changed since rmdir exists in VMS7.x
#elif defined(__OS2__)
    return (::DosDeleteDir((PSZ)dir.c_str()) == 0);
#elif defined(__WXWINCE__)
    return (RemoveDirectory(dir) != 0);
#elif defined(__WXPALMOS__)
    // TODO with VFSFileRename()
    return false;
#elif defined(__MINGW32__)
    return (rmdir(OS_FILENAME(dir)) == 0);
#else
    return (wxRmDir(OS_FILENAME(dir)) == 0);
#endif
}
