MinGW compilation: regexp.h dependency problem
Last modified: 2005-12-23 14:43:23 UTC
Regexp.h is not a part of libc which comes with MinGW. Since subparse depends on this library, it should be checked whether this library exists in the system (alternatively, subparse can be disabled in mingw). Sidenote: I was trying to get and compile regexp from GNU ftp archive. However, I was not able to compile it as standalone DLL (this is surely lack of my Windows skills). So this not a matter of simple make; make install
May be, disabling subparse is the best option for now. It can be done the same way as in the proposed patch to bug #316166 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316166 Surely, there are better solutions but we want to get GStreamer bildable on Windows "out of the box" soon to attract more develepers.
This do not seem to be a problem with our latest builds.
