Re: [NTG-pdftex] compilation under mingw
I spent a lot of time to compile pdftex with mingw in the past, but in the end I think that it's not worthwhile for the trouble so I gave it up. Using the djgpp cross-compiler is much easier ad allows me to use the same sources for compiling binaries for linux and dos/windows.

Hi there,
pdfTeX sources (at least current 1.30.0 and rcandidates) don't compile under mingw environment, although #ifdefs suggest that mingw is supported.

Has anybody tried? Thanks for any clues. -- Pawe/l Jackowski P.Jackowski@gust.org.pl _______________________________________________ ntg-pdftex mailing list ntg-pdftex@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-pdftex

I think I give up to, but I've just gave it one more chance using some clues I've found here: http://www.octave.org/octave-lists/archive/octave-maintainers.2002/msg00282.... This resolves missing headers problem, but as the author, I'm not sure if such changes are correct and doesn't spoil some other things.

I'll follow your recomendation. Thanks for response. -- Pawe/l Jackowski P.Jackowski@gust.org.pl
