Compile Help

[dsampson]

Some javascript/style in this post has been disabled (why?)

I have Msys installed through OSGEO4w

Now I am trying to compile some software.

The compile script can not find gcc.

When I type gcc within MSYS nothing happens

When I type GCC within osgeo4w shell it finds it…

Do I need to do something specific with the env variables"?

Cheers

No, you need gcc.  OSGeo4W doesn't include a compiler.

The regular distro of MSYS shipps with GCC.  Can I copy and paste that into the OSGEO4w MSYS distro?

Cheers

 Infact,

A better question to start off is HOW should we compile programs to distrubte with OSGEO4W..

Can we just do it through a stock version of MSYS/MINGW or should we compile within OSGEO4W?

What about CYGWIN?


My experience is knwing how to

.configure
Make
Make install.

But I want to help be providiing software compiled and ready to go for OSGE4W.

Cheers

Although I didn't do a survey, I think most of the software in OSGeo4W is
compiled with various versions of Microsoft Visual C++.   E.g. GDAL, proj4,
GEOS, python and Qt & QGIS.  The last two with Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.

GRASS is compiled with MinGW and the osgeo4w installer with cygwin.

The build processes on Windows are often more involved that simply running
configure && make install and differ from package to package.

I do have instructions for compiling this package (PAGCgeo.org) with mingw I was just not sure if that would meet the criteria for osgeo4w.

So I shall resort to that.

BTW if OSGEO4W has no compiler then how can you distribute source packages for compiling? Or would the source only be for building other packages?

Sorry for the novice questions. Your responses are appreciated.

Cheers
