[Bug-gnubg] Compiling makebearoff (WinXP)

[Massimiliano . Maini]

Hi all, I'm trying hard tobuild a Win distrib from the latest code.
I'm unable to compile makebearoff : I use the same config.h I use
to compile gnubg.exe (GUI and Python). Everything compiles fine up to
makebearoff.c :

'InitCommonControlsEx' is dfefined in commctrl.h (included by
makebearoff.c)
like that :


Commctrl.h (under mingw/include) :

#if (_WIN32_IE >= 0x0300)
typedef struct tagINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX {
      DWORD dwSize;
      DWORD dwICC;
} INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX,*LPINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX;
#endif


First problem is that _WIN32_IE is not defined in the mingw include/*.h
(intentionally, there's a comment). So I tried to modify makebearoff.c
and define it (the value of _WIN32_IE indicates the minimal supported
version
opf IE, I used the "oldest" version, something like IE2) :

#ifdef WIN32
#define _WIN32_IE 0x0300
#include <windows.h>
#include <commctrl.h>


Now something changes, but still doesn't work :

linking makebearoff.exe

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Looks like there's a missing lib/dll ... anybody has an idea ?
