The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can't ./configure Bigloo in MinGW/MSYS in WinXP

Asked by richdiesal in Open Source Programming, C Programming Language, CYGWIN

Tags: bigloo, mingw, c, configure, msys

I'm trying to install Roadsend to Windows XP using the instructions here: http://code.roadsend.com/pcc/wiki/BuildInstructions

I have installed everything to default locations.  MinGW is in C:\MinGW and MSYS is in C:\msys.

I've reached step 5 and hit a roadblock.  The step reads:
Configure bigloo. Note that to provide bigloo with a path for installation, we use the MinGW 'forward slash hack': "./configure --prefix=c:/msys/1.0/home/USERNAME/bigloo"

When I enter this command in the bigloo directory, I get the following:
------------------------------------------
$ ./configure --prefix=c:/msys/1.0/home/richdiesal/bigloo
** Configure **

*** ERROR:configure:Can't configure a C compiler. Aborting
./autoconf/sqlite: eval: illegal option: -m
eval: usage: eval [arg ...]
Configuring lib/2.9a/bigloo_config.h, runtime/Jlib/configure.java, runtime/CSlib/configure.cs:
   log2 ptr alignment:
./autoconf/ccstrip: eval: illegal option: -s
eval: usage: eval [arg ...]
./autoconf/ccprof: eval: illegal option: -p
eval: usage: eval [arg ...]
./autoconf/ccprof: eval: illegal option: -p
eval: usage: eval [arg ...]
*** ERROR:configure:stack. Aborting
------------------------------------------

I have gcc installed in MinGW, but MSYS doesn't seem to have access to it.  My .bashrc contains:
------------------------------------------
PCC_HOME=~/pcc
BIGLOO_HOME=~/bigloo
BIGLOO_VERSION=2.9a

# for binaries
PATH=$BIGLOO_HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PCC_HOME:$PCC_HOME/compiler:~/bin:$PATH

# for DLL's
PATH=$PCC_HOME/libs:$BIGLOO_HOME/lib/bigloo/$BIGLOO_VERSION:/usr/local/lib:$PATH
BGL_LIBRARY_PATH=c:/msys/1.0/home/$USERNAME/bigloo/lib/bigloo/$BIGLOO_VERSION

export PATH PCC_HOME BGL_LIBRARY_PATH
------------------------------------------

How do I get my .configure to use the c compiler (I assume gcc)?
