Compilation under MinGW

[Tobias T.]

Hi I really would like to use this library for my own project. I'm using Eclipse CDT with Mingw 4.7 under Windows (32 bit).
But I have problems to compile it. It seems that only the MSVC compiler is supported under Windows. Is there a simple fix?

Hi Tobias,

I havent tried mingw,and there is no simple way around it (other than trying to build it and fixing the errors one by one). Can you use the precompiled static lib ?

Hey Tobias,

No there isnt any lib for mingw but wont the static libs work with mingw (even if they were built with VS) ?

Hi Frank,
I tried to compile the example with the VS-static libs. In order to do that I had to replace the VS pixfc-sse.h with the original one (otherwise I get:error stray '\32 ' in program).  But then I got lot of linker errors. (undefined reference to '__xyz').
Refering to http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MixingCompilers (...' as long as you communicate with them only through a C interface declared with extern "C". If you do otherwise, you will probably get linker errors because different compilers mangle C++ names differently. ') it should generally be possible under the right circumstances.
It seems that compiling from the source and fixing all the errors is the way to go right now.
Thx for the quick response.
