[Mingw-w64-public] Unable to use extended paths on rebuilds

2015-12-07 Thread Davidson, Josh
I'm building some generated code that creates insanely long names that tripped the 260 character limit on Windows. I attempted to specify paths using the \\?\ prefix (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247(VS.85).aspx#maxpath ) and it worked on clean builds, but causes various tools

[Mingw-w64-public] Library compatability with different thread & exception configurations

2013-11-06 Thread Davidson, Josh
Are libraries built with MinGW-W64 distributions using different configurations for exceptions (sjlj vs seh) and threads (win32 vs posix) compatible? I've had success using libraries across different versions of MinGW-W64 so long as I've stuck with sjlj exceptions and win32 threads. I'm using

2012-03-18 Thread Davidson, Josh
I installed Ruben's latest win32 build of mingw-w32 this afternoon and immediately ran it runtime issues with third party libraries (one of which is boost) that I'm using in my application. After some analysis, the root of the issue is that the Windows's system error code is cleared upon a func

[Mingw-w64-public] gcc search path directory separator

2012-02-09 Thread Davidson, Josh
Is there something that can be configured to change how gcc reports its search path? I've used different builds of MinGW-W64 and some end up with at least one standard header path that is completely forward slashes and some end up with only paths that have at least one backslash. Usually, for

[Mingw-w64-public] vsnprintf could not be located

2012-02-08 Thread Davidson, Josh
"The procedure entry point vsnprintf could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll" I know this error has been posted to the mailing list before, but I'm wondering if there is any way of working around it in binary distributions. I'm using the latest automated build (mingw-w32-b
