Re: libstdc++ for building setup.exe


You can also download this:

http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/testing/release/mingw-extra/mingw-extra-2.95.3_20011106-2.tar.bz2

and unpack it in the obvious place. It contains those libraries from mingw's gcc package. You might also want to manually run the "postinstall" script.

Hi,

I haven't been able to build the new setup (since it moved in cvs),
but that may be due to the fact that the mingw package was dropped.

At

   http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/setup.html

it says:

    To successfully build such a setup you will need a mingw
    libstdc++.a file for the cross-compiler to link against.  One can
    be found in the mingw gcc binary

Is libstdc++.a the only mingw library that's needed, and do you have
an url for it?  Previously, untarring the mingw and mingw-runtime
packages was sufficient.

Last thing I tried was the rather old, but apparently latest mingw gcc
package to contain a libstdc++:

   ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin/gcc-2.95.2/gcc-2.95.2-mingw-extra.tar.gz

but I still get missing _impure_ptr errors.

Greetings,
Jan.
