[AD] native mingw32 port.

["Henrik Stokseth" <hstokset@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi! the native mingw32 port is finished, but i have some linking problems...
if somebody wants to finish it, it would be very welcome. for gcc to link
microsoft style *.lib files (directx libs) you'll need the following stuff:

you'll of course need james johnson's mini directx sdk, install it to
c:\mingw32\i386-mingw32 ...

then get tar & bzip2 from this file ...

ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/mingw32/porters/Mikey/ming-s
elfhost.zip

unzip to your mingw32 directory.

ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/mingw32/porters/Mikey/binuti
ls294-ming.tar.bz2

uncompress to your mingw32 directory with: tar -xIvf
binutils294-ming.tar.bz2
mikey the porter added *.lib support for the gnu linker... *jeepee* i guess.

then download my files. (note! i've not made a nice patch, you'll need to
unzip it to a temporary directory and move the files to where they should
be)

http://thunder.prohosting.com/~hstokset/archive/allegro3930patch.zip

make the directories obj\mingw32\alleg_s etc... copy dependency file here...

ok, then move to your allegro directory and write the following...

fixming
set MINGDIR=c:\mingw32
set STATICLINK=1
make -i

if everything went well about 70% of the example programs should work...
for the moment midi doesn't work and i have problems linking in gdi and
directinput stuff... oh, and very important: delete the directx .a libraries
that comes with mingw32, they are incomplete...

i'll be glad to answer any questions you might have.


Sincerely Henrik Stokseth.
