#163 building instructions for native win32/64

The mingw Makefile says

# If libgd has been compiled with TrueType font support, then you can use
# scaled TrueType fonts. If not, then uncomment FREETYPE.

Does libgd-2.1 (latest is 2.1.1) always have TrueType font support? I see no way to dis-/enable it. Are there any (dis-)advantages to using the one or the other?

Congrats. I just checked but couldn't identify any changes in my wxWidgets source tree. Somehow the version of MinGW I used last time still compiled the original source. Of course we could now just add "-DTV_DISPINFO=NMTVDISPINFO" to CFLAGS.

I had to replace all 8 occurences of "TV_DISPINFO" in wxWidgets/src/msw/treectrl.cpp by "NMTVDISPINFO", see link to trac/wxwidgets.org above. Now wxwidgets2812 compiles with mingw32. "make install-strip" complains about a missing wxmse28u_gcc_custom.dll.

And gnuplot5.1-cvs also compiles, with wxt enabled, and it seems to work! I was just able to try out the new save/export buttons. :-)

wxWidgets2812MSW won´t compile under mingw. It stops at the same error as in those two links:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19476533/error-while-compiling-wxwidgets-2-8-12-on-mingw-with-gcc-4-8-1

http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/15537

answers there say that it´s an error in mingw, an recommend using MinGW-w64. Hm.

The instructions in mingw-gnuplot.txt are very helpful, thanks. It should be added that libiconv is also in the gtk+-bundle.

If it is not installed, make stops at the japanese help file, complaining about a missing libintl-8.dll. So the making of the jp help file should probably depend on ICONV=1 and/or have it´s own definition line in the first part of the makefile.

Funnily, the incomplete build of libcerf can be installed, and works.

When i tried to compile gnuplot/mingw with libcerf disabled however, there was an error in the first try. Unfortunately i don´t remember the exact reason (something with cerf and dawson), and it´s not reproducible now, even after issuing "make clean". Well.

I´ve now build the current 50alpha from cvs, and got everything except pdf, wxt and caca.

gp465 also compiles (everything except pdf and wxt).

wxt will compile overnight, let´s see ...

I can´t make libcerf-1.3, it first gives a warning about undefined symbols not being allowed in i686-pc-mingw32 shared libraries, and a few steps later stops in "./test", complaining about several undefined references to cexp.

Does my mingw miss some needed library? I just installed the basic setup, i.e. mingw32-base, - developer-toolskit, -gcc-g++ & msys-base
