Here are the MinGW-specific problems with building and testing this
release (copy to gnulib list, because many issues are related to
gnulib modules).
1. Compilation fails in lib/:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../intl -Id:/usr/include -g3 -O2
-Wno-format-contains-nul -MT idcache.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/idcache.Tpo -c -o

idcache.h:7:24: error: unknown type name 'gid_t'
idcache.h:8:1: error: unknown type name 'uid_t'
idcache.h:9:1: error: unknown type name 'gid_t'
idcache.c:25:17: fatal error: pwd.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[4]: *** [idcache.o] Error 1
This is because idcache.h includes sys/types.h, but gnulib's
sys/types.h does not define uid_t and gid_t, and also there are no
pwd.h and grp.h in lib/.
My solution was to add private pwd.h and grp.h to lib/, and modify
idcache.h to include them. But I guess a better solution would be
to import more from gnulib, or perhaps enhance the corresponding
gnulib modules.
2. Compilation warning in lib/:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../intl -Id:/usr/include -g3 -O2
-Wno-format-contains-nul -MT idcache.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/idcache.Tpo -c -o

without a cast [enabled by default]
idcache.c: In function 'getgroup':
idcache.c:167:29: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer
without a cast [enabled by default]
This is because functions getpwuid and getgrgid are unavailable and
there are no replacements for them in gnulib.
To solve this, I added the missing functions to idcache.c:

The problem here is with basename and dirname, whose declarations
are absent. My solution was to add "#include <libgen.h>" to
lib/system.h (libgen.h in MinGW declares basename and dirname).
However, I wonder if gnulib has a better solution.

make[1]: Leaving directory `/d/usr/eli/utils/sharutils-4.13.4'
make: *** [all] Error 2
The winsock-related errors are because of incorrect order of
libraries on the link command line:
-lws2_32 -lws2_32 ../libopts/libopts.a ../lib/libgnu.a ../intl/libintl.a
d:/usr/lib/libiconv.dll.a -Ld:/usr/lib -lpthread ../lib/libgnu.a -lregex
Solution: reorder in src/Makefile.in:
LDADD = $(top_builddir)/libopts/libopts.a $(top_builddir)/lib/libgnu.a \
$(LIBINTL) $(top_builddir)/lib/libgnu.a $(GETHOSTNAME_LIB) $(LIBSOCKET)
For the other errors: I wrote emulations for fork (always fails),
wait (always fails) and pipe (calls _pipe), and also add getuid,
getpwnam and getgrnam to idcache.c. However, I think gnulib has
replacements for at least some of these functions.
5. Link errors for unshar.exe:
gcc -Wno-format-contains-nul -g3 -O2 -Wno-format-contains-nul -o
unshar.exe unshar.o encode.o unshar-opts.o ../libopts/libopts.a ../lib/libgnu.a

unshar.o: In function `load_file':

`mkstemp'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [unshar.exe] Error 1
Solution: add mkstemp to unshar.c. Again, I think gnulib has a
module for that, so importing it will solve this.
6. uutest-1 test fails because the begin line doesn't match. This is
because the mode bits on Windows are not real, beyond the user-read
and user-write bits. So it would be nice if on Windows Diff would
be invoked like this:
DIFF="diff -I^begin"
7. shar-4 fails because it uses cmp to compare results with expected
ones, which fails due to line endings. Suggest to use Diff
instead.
8. The configure script botches the popen-binary test: the test
program does not include stdio.h, so the compilation fails for
reasons that have no relation to the issue being tested.
9. Using -! or --more-help triggers an error message:
d:\usr\eli\utils\sharutils-4.13.4>uuencode -!
uuencode: illegal option -- !
uuencode (GNU sharutils) - encode a file into email friendly text
Usage: uuencode [ -<flag> | --<name> ]... [<in-file>] <output-name>
Try 'uuencode --help' for more information.
d:\usr\eli\utils\sharutils-4.13.4>uuencode --more-help
uuencode: illegal option -- more-help
uuencode (GNU sharutils) - encode a file into email friendly text
Usage: uuencode [ -<flag> | --<name> ]... [<in-file>] <output-name>
Try 'uuencode --help' for more information.
This is confusing because --help does show these options as available.
The reason is that uuencode-options.c does this:
#if HAVE_WORKING_FORK
#define MORE_HELP_DESC (uuencode_opt_strs+1045)
#define MORE_HELP_name (uuencode_opt_strs+1090)
#define MORE_HELP_FLAGS (OPTST_IMM | OPTST_NO_INIT)
#else
#define MORE_HELP_DESC NULL <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
#define MORE_HELP_name NULL <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
#define MORE_HELP_FLAGS (OPTST_OMITTED | OPTST_NO_INIT)
#endif
which is unnecessary, since the relevant libopts code already knows
how to handle the case of !HAVE_WORKING_FORK.
=> Fixed by enabling the !HAVE_WORKING_FORK block above.
Same in shar-opts.c and uudecode-opts.c.
10.shar fails while processing files:
d:\usr\eli\utils\sharutils-4.13.4>src\shar src\encode.c > foo.shar
shar: Saving src/encode.c (text)
The system cannot find the path specified.
This is because emit_char_ct_validation invokes 'wc' with bad
redirection:
set LC_ALL=C & wc -c < 'src/encode.c'
The file from which stdin is redirected uses forward slashes and is
quoted with '..'.
Solution: use a slightly different command for MinGW to run 'wc'
locally:
set LC_ALL=C & wc -c "src/encode.c"

11.shar.c uses /dev/null in freopen, but does not use the gnulib
freopen module, which makes /dev/null work on MS-Windows.
There are a few other, less important issues, like with using binary
I/O in some places. let me know if you want me to send diffs for
those.
