gcc for Openstep 4.2 Win or converting a lib?
Mattes
I'm just searching for a newer gcc.exe for Openstep 4.2 for Windows
because I want to access a mysql database from an Openstep application
using the mysql c api. The standard gcc version is 2.7.2.1.
I get an error during compiling/linking regarding the libmysql.lib
("fatal error LNK 1106: invalid file or disk full. Cannot seek
to ..."). I think I need a gcc which can handle the newer library
format?
Or is it possible to convert the mysql lib with a tool to the older
format?
Do you have an idea from where I could get such a tool or a gcc.exe?
Thank you very much for any help and best regards!

I think its a custom NeXT tweaked sourcetree of Gcc... I would try
downloading the source for 2.95, and see if you can build that
yourself... Of course this is DANGEROUS territory, so for your sake
I'd do it in a 'test' enviroment.. My OpenSTEP for NT CD's are in
Miami, and I'm in NY for the next while so I'm unable to test this out
for you...
Something tells me the answer is 'no'.
I'm pretty sure the .lib file that you have for mysql isn't going to
be in the same format that OpenSTEP is expecting.. do a file on that
lib, and another lib that does work... I bet they are different
formats. I'm not sure about converting, I suspect that answer is no.
Good luck!
