Annotation of embedaddon/libiconv/README.woe32, revision 1.1.1.2

1.1.1.2 ! misho       1: Installation on Woe32 (WinNT/2000/XP/Vista/7, Win95/98/ME):
1.1       misho       2: 
                      3: Building requires the mingw or cygwin development environment (includes gcc).
                      4: MS Visual C/C++ with "nmake" is no longer supported.
                      5: 
                      6: This file explains how to create binaries for the mingw execution environment.
                      7: For how to create binaries for the cygwin environment, please see the normal
                      8: INSTALL file.  MS Visual C/C++ with "nmake" is no longer supported.
                      9: 
                     10: I recommend to use the cygwin environment as the development environment
                     11: and mingw only as the target (runtime, deployment) environment.
                     12: For this, you need to install
                     13:   - cygwin,
                     14:   - the mingw runtime package, also from the cygwin site.
                     15: 
                     16: You must not install cygwin programs directly under /usr/local -
                     17: because the mingw compiler and linker would pick up the include files
                     18: and libraries from there, thus introducing an undesired dependency to
                     19: cygwin. You can for example achieve this by using the
                     20: configure option --prefix=/usr/local/cygwin each time you build a
                     21: program for cygwin.
                     22: 
                     23: Building for mingw is then achieved through the following preparation
                     24: and configure commands:
                     25: 
                     26:    PATH=/usr/local/mingw/bin:$PATH
                     27:    export PATH
                     28:    ./configure --host=i586-pc-mingw32 --prefix=/usr/local/mingw \
1.1.1.2 ! misho      29:      CC="gcc-3 -mno-cygwin" \
        !            30:      CXX="g++-3 -mno-cygwin" \
        !            31:      CPPFLAGS="-Wall -I/usr/local/mingw/include" \
        !            32:      LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/mingw/lib"
1.1       misho      33: 
                     34: The -mno-cygwin tells the cygwin compiler and linker to build for mingw.
                     35: The -I and -L option are so that packages previously built for the
                     36: same environment are found. The --host option tells the various
                     37: tools that you are building for mingw, not cygwin.
