[Mingw-cross-env-list] gsl 1.14 failing?

[Gareth Coco]

Hi,

Just did a hg pull -u.

make clean; make

and when building gsl it fails.

Start of error message is.

Hi Gareth,

Hi,
Just did a hg pull -u.
make clean; make
and when building gsl it fails.

Two things look odd in the log, the first is:

checking whether we are cross compiling... no

can you check if adding the standard sed replacement before configue helps?

$(SED) -i 's,cross_compiling=no,cross_compiling=yes,' '$(1)/configure'


The second is:

checking for ANSI C header files... no

that causes STDC_HEADERS to not be defined - which then includes
<varargs.h> instead of <stdarg.h>. If the above replacement doesn't
work, try appending:

ac_cv_header_stdc=yes

to the ./configure args.

I just added a test program so you may want to hg pull -u first.

Cheers,

Tony

$(SED) -i 's,cross_compiling=no,cross_compiling=yes,' '$(1)/configure'

This fixed the problem for me.

FYI: This is on Fedora 14 x86_64

Thanks, I just checked it in:
