Installation problem with Msys

[david allen]

My University just supplied me with a Windows 7 laptop. Msys installed with no apparent problems. Using 1.3.2, "make" failed when it hit  factory.cxx. The message was

previous declaration of  int _stricmp ...

Help appreciated.

[Greg Ercolano]

Try one of the latest snapshots, e.g.
http://www.fltk.org/software.php?VERSION=1.3.2&FILE=fltk/snapshots/fltk-1.3.x-r10022.tar.gz

[Ian MacArthur]

Just “for the record” I’m using various iterations of fltk on Win7 with Msys/Mingw and it works fine.

However, I have a vague sense that I’ve seen this warning flagged before: might have been on the list here, or it may have been someone at my work... And I can’t recall what the issue was, either... So not all that helpful.

If it was related to my work, and if Brian T’s reading this, then he might have some ideas... He’s also a heavy user of fltk on different WinXX versions, often with mingw, so if there’s some weirdness, there’s a good chance he has seen it!

Which reminds me... which shell / console are you using with mingw? Brian recommends that people use the mintty console on Win7, as the old favourite rxvt derived one sometimes does Weird Stuff, and was corrupting his builds by returning duff paths and duff environment values - switching to the minty console “fixed” things... Might be relevant here if the configure is returning odd looking states.

Hmm, need more info; can you include a bit of screen history so we can see your
shell prompt and the command you're running, and all the output from the command
up to and including the error.

[Allen, David]

My most recent problem was due to my not doing

automake --add-missing

after autoconf

After correcting that, the configure process worked fine. However, make failed for r10022 at the same
place it failed for 1.3.2, ie when it encountered factory.cxx

Regarding Ian's suggestion about the console, I am using what a freshly installed Msys gave me.
I wasn't aware there is an alternative.

thanks so much for your efforts on this.

OK; I see this - I set up XP in a clean VM then pulled the tar ball for fltk-1.3.x-r10022.tar.gz and did:

ianuser@XP-PRO-VM1 /d/source/test-fltk
$ tar -zxf fltk-1.3.x-r10022.tar.gz

ianuser@XP-PRO-VM1 /d/source/test-fltk

Which is the problem as reported.

Odd: I have not seen that before.

Seems like it might be a bug in configure perhaps?


If you edit config.h, try changing

/* #undef HAVE_STRCASECMP */

To instead say:

#define HAVE_STRCASECMP 1

Then redo the make, see if that is any better...

Not sure why this happened, will need more investigation; now is not the time though...

There are many, and varied. Use mingw-get to install them; I favour the mintty option these days, most of the time...

[MacArthur, Ian (Selex ES, UK)]

OK, I'm at something of a loss now: I tried to recreate the failure I saw yesterday on the WinXP VM, here on a Win7 box, with mingw.

Basically, it all *worked fine* this time around.

Below is the log for the build:

Initially I unrolled the tarball, then went through a sequence of trying to invoke configure *before* running "autoconf" or "automake --add-missing" as I wanted to see what actually happened in that case (it just fails for want of ./config.sub in each case...)

The I ran configure, with no options set, then make. All worked fine, and the test folder built and runs OK.

In practice, with this version of mingw, I'd probably want to do:

LDFLAGS="-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++" ./configure

instead of course, to work around the dynamic libgcc/stdc++ libs issue, as normal.

Anyway, here is the full (and very long, sorry about that) log, in case anyone sees anything unusual (I did not..)

Yes, did you see my earlier post?

I saw that failure in a test build on my WinXP VM, but can not reproduce it on my regular Win7 test box.

It *seems* to be something to do with the way configure is detecting strcasecmp support.

If you hand-edit config.h, find the undef of HAVE_STRCASECMP and replace it with

#define HAVE_STRCASECMP 1

and re-run the make. It *should* then succeed.

I do not know why configure is not setting the HAVE_STRCASECMP define correctly.
It seems odd that it works fine *on some systems* but not others.



Which version of gcc is you mingw? Maybe that is relevant?

The one I have here is:

$ gcc -v

Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=D:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=d:/mingw/bin/../libexec/gcc/mingw32/4.7.2/lto-wrapper.exe

Thread model: win32
gcc version 4.7.2 (GCC)

So that's 4.7.2; I *think* the version of gcc on the build that failed was more recent, as it was "up to date", which this machine is not.
I'd guess the gcc on the failed build might have been 4.8.1.

Might be relevant, not sure.

What version of gcc do you have?

Does the build complete OK if you edit config.h as noted above?

OK - glad that worked.

What version of gcc is your mingw using?
I do wonder if that is the crux to this problem...

[Allen, David]

g++ --version

gives

4.8.1

OK - that's kinda what I suspected; though I am not sure at all how to go about "fixing" it...

For me, if I look in config.log after running configure, then:

With mingw gcc-4.8.1 I see:

configure:5612: checking for strcasecmp
configure:5612: gcc -o conftest.exe conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:51:6: warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'strcasecmp' [enabled by default]
char strcasecmp ();
^
C:\DOCUME~1\ianuser\LOCALS~1\Temp\ccyzCt00.o:conftest.c:(.text+0xc): undefined reference to `strcasecmp'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:5612: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:

<snip>

configure:5612: result: no



Whereas with mingw gcc-4.7.2 I see instead:


configure:5612: checking for strcasecmp
configure:5612: gcc -o conftest.exe conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:51:6: warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'strcasecmp' [enabled by default]
char strcasecmp ();
^
configure:5612: $? = 0
configure:5612: result: yes


So... both compilers report that strcasecmp is a built-in function, but for whatever reason 4.8.1 then fails to link, whereas 4.7.2 links OK...

If I write test code that just uses strcasecmp "normally" it works fine in either case!

For comparison, here's what I see for the same test on OSX, with Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79)


configure:7385: checking for strcasecmp
configure:7441: gcc -o conftest conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:54:6: warning: incompatible redeclaration of library function 'strcasecmp' [-Wincompatible-library-redeclaration]
char strcasecmp ();
^
conftest.c:54:6: note: 'strcasecmp' is a builtin with type 'int (const char *, const char *)'
1 warning generated.
configure:7447: $? = 0
configure:7465: result: yes

Which, though the wording differs slightly, is broadly the same behaviour as the gcc-4.7.2 version exhibits.

I'm inclined to think that gcc-4.8.2 is doing "something odd", I have no ideas for how to proceed next.
