Can you compile a basic C script (using gcc) and a basic C++ script (using 
g++) ? If so, then everything is probably ok in that regard. If not, then 
what errors are you getting ?

If the build process needs to use the fortran compiler (g77) then I think 
you're in trouble - I don't know of a patched g77 that works with Vista.

Only error that I spotted in the above wiki was the instruction to "start 
gnucash from the MSYS command line by typing c:/soft/gnucash/bin/gnucash". 
(I expect you would need to type /c/soft/gnucash/bin/gnucash.)

What you ask is probably beyond the charter of this list - unless you've 
come up against issues where MSYS and/or MinGW are not behaving correctly. 
If you think you've come up against such issues, then you should provide 
some information about them.

Telling us that your latest issue is "is the gcc problem" doesn't really 
give us much to work with 

Cheers,
Rob

FLI, either should work; MSYS understands c:/ just fine.

Well, there is Vista32 and Vista64 which do you have?  I don't have 
either yet so can't help with specifics to Vista beyond helping you 
help yourself.

What is the gcc problem?

I don't know the problem so I don't know what is wrong.

Helping you use MinGW is what this list is for.  I don't know Vista and 
I don't know gnucash but together we may work out the issues.

No, but from the more detailed support ticket you raised on the bug
tracker, it seems that your usage was incorrect.  I believe I have
answered this, at:

Just posted mingw patch to add CryptEncodeObject... constants to wincrypt.h from MSDN

FYI:

Just posted mingw patch to add CryptEncodeObject... constants to wincrypt.h from MSDN

mingw sourceforge patch tracker

[ 1825238 ] Add CryptEncodeObject... constants to wincrypt.h from MSDN

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1825238&group_id=2435&atid=302435

(Apologies if it is redundant to post a msg about this patch to this mailing list; I wasn't sure.)

Essentially this is the constants from the MSDN page

"Constants for CryptEncodeObject and CryptDecodeObject"

IIRC, this was discussed here years ago, and the answer was "no".
The problem is that a third party might duplicate copyrighted
material, replacing the original copyright with a GPL notice.
For information that ms might consider proprietary, if google
can't find an instance of ms disclosing it, then you kind of
have to wonder where someone else got it.

However...

> I don't see X509_ANY_STRING in MSDN online.

I think its value is disclosed on msdn, in terms of another
macro whose numeric value is specified:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa378145.aspx
|
| X509_NAME_VALUE
| (LPCSTR) 6
...
| X509_ANY_STRING
| X509_NAME_VALUE

So IMO it's acceptable to write

  #define X509_NAME_VALUE (LPCSTR) 6
  #define X509_ANY_STRING X509_NAME_VALUE

Perhaps some constants missing in your patch can be filled in
in the same way. For instance, they've published this:

| X509_DSS_PUBLICKEY
| X509_MULTI_BYTE_UINT

so where your patch has

  +/* need X509_DSS_PUBLICKEY */
  +#define X509_MULTI_BYTE_UINT (LPCSTR) 38

I'd say you could instead write:

  +#define X509_MULTI_BYTE_UINT (LPCSTR) 38
  +#define X509_DSS_PUBLICKEY X509_MULTI_BYTE_UINT

I glanced at a few other values in your patch, and it seems
that you're carefully following the rules, at least as I
understand them. Thanks.

Cannot build a statically linked gtk+ app

Greetings,

I am developing a gtk+ application using mingw.
I installed mingw via dev-c++ 4.9.9.1 (but am using the cygwin environment
to compile my app).  I am trying to statically link a gtk+ application
but no matter what compiler options I use, I get dependencies on
c:\windows\system32\LIBGTK-0.DLL. My goal is to distribute this application
without distributing any DLLs if possible.

As you can see below, I use several versions of '-static' and I provide
only '.a' files to link against.  Therefore, I do not even know how the
linker is aware of LIBGTK-0.DLL.  I would very much appreciate any help
or information that would assist me in building a statically linked 
application.

Thank you!

Randy Reed
