MinGw, opendir() stat64() and related

I coded a small utility in "C" using the Code::Blocks IDE on 32 Bit
Linux for distribution. The utility searches, identifies and can delete
files with identical content. 

I also want to distribute a Windows version of the utility but can't get
it to compile and work on Windows 7 using the Mingw 4.6.3 with the
Code::Blocks IDE for Windows.

Under Windows, the complier rejects these declarations and functions:

struct stat64 lst;
stat64(path, &lst);

Using 'stat' instead of 'stat64' will complile without errors but
'opendir()' returns 0. readir() and closedir() also fail;

The code compiles and works as it should on 32 and 64 bit Linux.

I can not find the MinGW specific sources for the functions stat(),
stat64(), opendir(), readdir(), closedir() and other functions.

State of MSYS-2?

Hi mingw,

by the end of last year we discussed the starting effort of rebasing 
MSYS on current Cygwin. Has this seen any progress yet? where can I 
get more insight in this progress?

Re: Problem installing MinGW on non-networked computer

James,

I don't actually have any make.exe in my path at all.  

Based on your suggestion, I also did 'echo $GCC_EXEC_PREFIX' and that variable is not set (at least the MSYS
shell I am using doesn't have it).  

The absence of any make.exe did cause a warning message when I installed MSYS (version 1.0.11).  However the
MSYS shell does work.  

Is the error 'CreateProcess: No such file or directory' when I attempt to compile a program possibly
related to not having a make.exe?  If so, are there additional items which need to be installed, beyond
those I listed in my original message (see bottom of current)? 

Thanks,
Wharton

I think that is a really generic error message... it could be that there's another make.exe in your path or
that a GCC_EXEC_PREFIX environment variable may be incorrectly defined...  something along those lines.

I like that pet-parrot imagery, but I've never heard that phrase before.  I'm a
native English speaker.  Is this a well-know idiom or proverb in a non-English

Whenever I see your name, I think of the German word "kein," so (unfortunately?)
I think of you as "Not-Hong!"  (Sorry...)

I realize that you've gotten the help you were needing, but I feel the
need to rebut this. In years of reading both mailing lists and forums,
experience has taught me that removing all quoted info unimportant to
your reply, and putting individual portions of your reply DIRECTLY
UNDER the relevant portions of said quoted information provides an
ENORMOUS improvement in readability. This is, after all, the way in
which English is naturally written.

I also subscribe to the SDL mailing lists, and there are some posts
that I just IGNORE because they're an unedited mess; this is not a
matter of POLITENESS, because no amount of politeness will make up for
it. This is a matter of READABILITY.

If you want people to read it, then trim off the unimportant bits, and
insert your reply directly under the relevant part of the quote. It
works everywhere that reading from top to bottom is natural.

As for "post-polite", it translates quite well to "it's perfectly
acceptable to completely ignore me". Remember, life is a two-way
street. If you want to deal with a specific person, then it has to
meet THEIR approval, and dealing with groups (especially 'anonymous'
groups who aren't in physical proximity to you) is just a large number
of instances of dealing with individuals. "Politeness" in the form
commonly thought of is nothing more than a reasonable set of social
rules dialed up beyond what's commonly necessary.

rpath or @loader_path in MinGW/Win32

I'm looking for something like GNU/Linux's rpath or Mac OS X's @loader_path in MinGW/Win32.

I'm working on the mingw build system for plugins for the app I work on, Pure Data aka Pd.  These plugins are
DLLs that are opened using dlopen()/LoadLibrary().  I'd like these plugin DLLs to be able to link to
another DLL for code shared between plugins.  Any idea how to do this?

Rather, I have it working in that if I launch the app in the folder where the plugin is, then it can find all the
DLLs.  But if I launch my app in a different folder, then it can only find the plugin DLL, but the plugin fails
to find the shared DLL.

I've solved this on GNU/Linux using rpath and Mac OS X using @loader_path.

quotes with autoconf

Folks,

this time I have a question which is related to autoconf run within
MSYS.  In case this isn't appropriate here please tell me.

I have a quoting problem.  Within the `config.log' file I see, say,
INCPATH defined as

  INCPATH='-I'\''foo/bar'\'''

This expands nicely within the created Makefile to

  INCPATH=-I'foo/bar'

and works as expected if I call `make'.  [Note that this comes from
the autotroll.m4 macro package which parses the output of Qt's qmake
makefile generator.]

However, what must I do make INCPATH work within `configure'?  Using
INCPATH directly doesn't work; the compiler can't find files in
`foo/bar'.  I suspect that the quote characters are taken literally so
that they become part of the directory name itself.

If my theory is right, I need to expand one quotation level.  I've
tried `eval', `AS_ECHO', and some other things, but somehow I
failed...

Please help.

    Werner

Precendence of COM and EXE

Folks,

with cmd.exe, if both `foo.com' and `foo.exe' are in the same
directory, `foo.com' takes precedence and gets executed.

However, this is not the case with the MSYS shell.  Why?
