If you wish private help we can discuss a contract, otherwise please 
use an appropriate http://www.mingw.org/lists.shmtl.

Please replace your dll with the recently uploaded Snapshot.  The 
windows error returned by other versions isn't correct.  Please also 
state your OS version and memory size.

In my MinGW installation SM_CMOUSEBUTTONS is defined (=43) but 
SM_MOUSEPRESENT (=19) is missing. Is this corrected or?

Thanks for that hint, just googling obviously wasn't enough.
I'll try the scripts mentioned there, it looks like they
are exactly what i need.


Best regards,

Hi,

i have a working MSYS/MinGW setup on my PC, all is fine
with it.

I now want to configure and compile binutils and gcc
from source for an embedded target.

binutils went fine, but gcc fails in gcc/collect2.c
with undefined references to fork() and signal().

I'm not sure if i described it clearly enough, i want
to configure and compile gcc for an embedded target,
not for MSYS.  I also don't wan't to build MinGW from
source.
I want to build a compiler for a microcontroller and
use that compiler under MSYS.

Can anybody give me a hint on how to configure and compile
gcc from source under MinGW/MSYS ?

Are there more prerequisites needed to compile gcc?


Best regards,
Torsten.

Vincent, I just uploaded a 
http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/msys-1.0.dll-SNAP-1.0.11-2006.04.23.tar.bz2?download which contains a new-msys-1.0.dll file.  This new-msys-1.0.dll contains a change in reporting the windows error for this issue so that the windows error causing problems is reported.  You need to copy new-msys-1.0.dll to the <msys install>/bin/msys-1.0.dll directory.  If you can't extract the file from the tarball let me know and I forward it to you by some other 
method.

TIA,
Earnie Boyd

Please don't send information about mingw-install in

I only test it in Windows 2000 and Windows XP, I think
win98 don't support link! 
you can solve this bug like this :
tar zxvf  openssl-0.9.8-20050723-1.tar.gz in windows
2000 or windows xp, then remove all links(it's only in
ssl/man/) and repackage it!

good luck!

On the download page http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml there is a 
MinGW-3.0.0-1.exe in the Previous section. I can not find any 
counterpart in the Current section. Is this a mistake? Should I look for 
something else in the Current section?

I think it is unlikely. Did you try redirecting the output using the command
prompt? If that works then the problem must be in your C# program. Have you
tested your C# code by redirecting one of the standard Windows commands, e.g.
ipconfig.exe?

I need to redirect the output (& error output) of a mingw program .exe (source
is not accessible).  I've launched it from a C# program using
System.Diagnostics.Process - it launches fine and runs fine; however when I
attempt to redirect the mingw output, it is silent.

When I run the mingw program as a DOS cmd, there are a few lines of output that
I can see.  I debugged the wrapper C# program by building a C# .exe that outputs
to both standard out and error out - works normally.

Is there anything done to the processing of standard output channels of 1 &
2 that might disable redirecting the output?

TIA,
DonH

I'm really at a loss on how to help you.  The Cygwin stuff shouldn't 
matter.  CVS code is a mess at the moment and I need to find some spare 
cycles to backout some changes.

The error message is coming from winsup/cygwin/cygheap.cc line 63.  I 
also think the Win32 error reported isn't the real error but a result 
of a subsequent API call.  For some reason

cygheap = (init_cygheap *) VirtualAlloc ((void *) &_cygheap_start, 
CYGHEAPSIZE, MEM_RESERVE, PAGE_NOACCESS);

returns a null pointer.  CYGHEAPSIZE is defined to be

#define CYGHEAPSIZE (sizeof (init_cygheap) + (4000 * sizeof 
(fhandler_union)) + (2 * 65536))

at least the source on my local disk; I don't remember changing it though.

I am using Clamwin antivirus which seems to use a "cygwin1.dll" file. 
But If I exit from Clamwin the problem is the same.
Searching for "cygwin*.*" I also found some files in OpenOffice, Scribus 
and Photran :
file:///E:/Utilitaires/OpenOffice/program/python-core-2.3.4/lib/distutils/cygwinccompiler.py
file:///E:/Utilitaires/Scribus/lib/distutils/cygwinccompiler.py
file:///E:/Utilitaires/Photran/MinGW/info/gdb/Cygwin-Native.html

I also have some softwares using MinGW : g95, gfortran, Photran 
(Eclipse+g95).

My PC has 1 Gbytes of RAM and 1.5 Gbytes of swap, the processor is 
ATHLON XP 3000+, Windows is XP SP2. The version of MSYS is 
MSYS-1.0.11-2004.04.30-1.exe

Well, I was looking for a utility I used to use.  I thought it was from 
sysinternals.com but I can't find it.

I've seen others report bad memory and lack of virtual memory space.  
You are the first in a long time (I can't remember when) with this 
issue.  Do you have some process open that uses Cygwin?  I'm grasping 
for a needle in a haystack here.  How much physical memory do you have? 
  How much virtual memory (swap space) do you have?  Which version of 
MSYS are you using 1.0.10 or 1.0.11?

Earnie Boyd

http://shop.siebunlimited.com

No, I am using a 32-bit Windows.
I also saw a message in archives about a problem between MSYS and the=20
iSafer firewall I use, but the problem is the same if I exit from this=20
firewall.

Is there a solution to obtain a more explicit message using for example=20
a debugging tool ?

Are you trying to run MSYS on a 64-bit Windows platform?

While tidying up my mailbox over the weekend, I noticed a
thread about making MSYS run on such platforms; if it isn't
set up right, you see a very similar message to this, IIRC.

You need CVS msys.bat, to work around it:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mingw/msys/dvlpr/bin/msys.bat

HTH,
Keith.

No, I found no Cygwin environment variable.
Moreover I obtain the same error when trying to use each command in the=20
bin directory:
