I never did get the boinc libraries to build via mingw/msys.  I am not sure if
it's something I was doing wrong, or if the problem is with the boinc code.

If anyone is interested, what did work for me was building with MinGW from linux
as a cross compiler.  It did require a couple minor tweaks to the boinc code,
but other than that I got working libraries (my apps are working as expected).

Subject: [boinc_dev] building boinc libraries on mingw

I am trying to build my project apps for the windows platform by using mingw and
msys.  I started with the instructions here:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/CompileAppWin  under the section "MinGW
command-line".

 

Other than needing to manually install pkg-config (doesn't come with mingw), the
_autosetup and configure steps completed successfully.   But I am currently
stuck on the "make -f Makefile.mingw" step.  The compiler is looking for a bunch
of windows headers which do not exist in mingw, but I did find them in my Visual
Studio directory.  I played around with including these Visual Studio headers
but that just led to other errors.

 

Does anyone have any guidance here on how to proceed?  Is there some mingw
package I need to manually install that will give me the necessary win32
headers?

 

Thanks!
