RE: stdint broken on mingw

[T J]

With some further investigation, I think I know what is happening now.

 

In my build script, I include the path /mingw32/share/aclocal as an aclocal search path. It so happens that this contains wint_t.m4, and this version does not have the GNULIB_OVERRIDES_WINT_T section in it. So bootstrap is actually including this file instead of the one provided by gnulib.

 

Some further digging shows that this file is installed by gettext:

 

$pacman -Qo /mingw32/share/aclocal/wint_t.m4

/mingw32/share/aclocal/wint_t.m4 is owned by mingw-w64-i686-gettext 0.19.7-1

 

 

Thanks,

Jeremy

Hi Bruno,

 

This is the output:

 

$grep -n GNULIB_OVERRIDES_WINT_T config.status lib/Makefile

lib/Makefile:2041:            -e 's/@''GNULIB_OVERRIDES_WINT_T''@/$(GNULIB_OVERRIDES_WINT_T)/g' \

lib/Makefile:2722:            -e 's/@''GNULIB_OVERRIDES_WINT_T''@/$(GNULIB_OVERRIDES_WINT_T)/g' \

 

Thanks,

Jeremy

I don't understand how, given the existing code, @GNULIB_OVERRIDES_WINT_T@ can
be substituted with an empty string.

Can you please show the result of

$ grep -n GNULIB_OVERRIDES_WINT_T config.status lib/Makefile

Thanks.
