<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This might be a tip for people trying to compile the GLFW
package bundled with SOE on Windows. I had to because I slightly modified the GLFW
source code.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The SOE readme.txt says:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>“For Win32 users, you'll need MinGW environment to
compile<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>GLFW. If "make win32-mgw" is unable to execute
compile.bat<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>propperly, use "compile.bat mgw". Please also
make sure<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>that your MinGW path should come before the GHC's gcc-lib<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>path in the PATH environment.”<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>However, the readme.html file has the following note:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Do <b>not</b> use the MSYS shell for compiling GLFW,
because the supplied batch<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>file "compile.bat" will only work under a
Windows command prompt (or MS-DOS<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>prompt).<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>To get it working, I
basically needed to <b>modify</b> my <b>PATH environment variable</b> so that
it <b>contains the MSYS bin folder</b> (in my case C:\app\msys\1.0\bin), and
then run “<b>COMPILE.bat make mgw</b>” file using the Windows
command prompt (CMD.EXE) instead of the MSYS unix shell emulator...<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Peter<o:p></o:p></p>
