mingw

Why does VS require constant for array size, and MinGW does not? And is there a way around it?

I have ported some code from Mingw which i wrote using code::blocks, to visual studio and their compiler, it has picked up many errors that my array sizes must be constant! Why does VS need a constant size and mingw does not? e.g. const int len = (strlen(szPath)-20); char szModiPath[len]; the len variable is underlined in red to say...

How to make Eclipse CDT detect MinGW toolchain in Linux?

I've built mingw32 for Linux and would like to use it with Eclipse IDE. However, the CDT plugin uses some predefined way to auto-detect toolchains (which, for mingw, seems to only work for Windows) and doesn't have a way to locate them manually. Is there any way to make it detect mingw under Linux? ...

The application failed to initalize properly (0xc0150002)

Hi, I have an image processing C program which uses OpenCV library. I was developping this with Visual Studio 2008 until this happened. So I moved the whole project to netbeans(6.9) and MinGW. I have configured netbeans to use OpenCV libraries as guided in this blog. But when I run the program it gives this error " The application fa...

Using Cygwin as a shell for MinGW

I have Cygwin and MinGW(TDM) installed. To build certain projects from source, you have to run a ./configure script, which requires a bash shell and certain unix utilities. For this, the MinGW project distributes MSYS, which is basically an old, stripped-down version Cygwin. I already have Cygwin installed, so I'd rather just use that. W...

cross-compiling haskell code through ghc and mingw tools

I've tried -fvia-C and the -pgms, but none of them manage to create an executable, splurting out lots of errors like Warning: retaining unknown function ``L4' in output from C compiler. ...

How do I build a Win32 app with a resource file using cmake and MinGW?

In theory, it's very easy to build a Win32 app with a resource file using cmake. In an add_executable command, a resource file can be listed as easily as a C or C++ source file. There is a known bug, however, when building using MinGW tools. I found a workaround, which is to include the following in CMakeFiles.txt... if(MINGW) set(CM...

C++ - building static library question

Hello! I built libbz2 (static variant) using MinGW (GCC 4.5.0) compilation system and now try to import this library into my MSVS2008 project. I've done these things already and everything worked fine, for example, with zlib (which means that created C libraries are actually interchangeable). However, when doing the same with libbz2, ...

I can't find it under Gnustep folder though a GNUstep\mingw\bin folder with a bunch of files exist. So isn't the package install bugged ? ...

Input redirection in gdb (MinGW)

I'm trying to get gdb to run programs with input redirection to stdin. For example, without gdb I would run a program like this: prog < input.txt Now in gdb, the usual way to do this is run < input.txt. However, it doesn't work for me and when doing this nothing gets redirected into stdin. I'm using Windows with MinGW. What could be ...

Increase stack size when compiling with mingw?

Hi, I'm writing a recursive flood-fill algorithm to find connected components in an image, my code compiles and runs well with MSVC 2008 compiler; but the mingw-compiled binary crashed at runtime. After I converted the algorithm to non-recursive with std::stack, everything goes well. But what if I must use recursive algorithm in some...

Get OpenCV MinGW libraries

Hi, I just want to compile my OpenCV 2.1 programs using MinGW. But I can't, because it won't compile ANYWAY. I DON'T WANT a solution to compile it, I just want the binary libraries because the pre-built VS2008 libraries don't work with MinGW. Can someone give it to me? Thanks in advance. ...

Good free profiler that supports MingW32 please?

I asked in another thread, how to profile my stuff, and people gave me lots of good replies, except that when I tried to use several of free profilers, including AMD Codeanalyst for example, they only support Microsoft PDB format, and MingW is unable to generate those. So, what profiler can help me profile a multi-threaded application w...
