gnuwin32-users Mailing List for GnuWin

I think the DevC++ mailing list
(http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=10639)
is more appropriate for this question, but
it seems you need to make sure that libpcre.dll.a is in a library path of
DevC++
(see Tools/Compiler Options/Libraries), pcre.h in an include path, and
pcre.dll in the system path (the environment variable Path).

Hi,

Forgive me if this is the wrong place. I want to use pcre, part of the gnuwin32, in a C program. I use Dev-C++ as ide, hence mingw as compiler. I downloaded the binary from sourgeforge, and the setup program installed it to f:\program files\gnuwin32.

So there is a pcre.dll there. But how do I use it? By use I mean howto "include" it and call the functions in it... 

Thanks.

Needed to link in libole32.

  I am getting this error when I try to link with libgw32c.a:

d:/gnuwin32/lib/libgw32c.a(symlink.o)(.text+0x18b):symlink.c: undefined
referenc

  Is there some other library that I need to link in?

Hi All,

A few weeks ago, I was looking for an implementation of GNU Groff
which I could use under Win32, and came across the package
contributed to GnuWin32 by Kees Zeelenberg.

Unfortunately, Kees' implementation did not quite fit my requirements,
since I did not want to install in "C:\Program Files\...", but also, did
not want the pain of setting up all the necessary environment variables
for an installation in another location; I tried to email Kees directly, 
to
discuss the issues, but received no reply; (if you are reading this Kees,
I think your email address may have changed from the one reported in
the package).

I *did* discuss the issues with Werner Lemberg, the lead GNU Groff
maintainer, and as a result, I have now submitted my own patches,
based on groff-1.18.1, to the GNU project, such that the official GNU
release should now build cleanly using MinGW and MSYS on Win32.
These patches should make the full functionality of Groff available, in
a Win32 implementation, *including* the HTML output capability, which
I note is specifically excluded from the existing GnuWin32 implementation.

In getting the HTML capability to work, I found a few dependencies
which I needed to resolve, viz.

  -     needed a working command line implementation of
        ghostscript; resolved by installing Aladdin Ghostscript,
        (but needed to rename the required executable).

  -     needed some components from netpbm and psutils,
        with additional dll's from libpng and zlib; all resolved
        by downloading GnuWin32 packages, and extracting
        just the required components.

I have one remaining problem -- the pnmtopng.exe utility provided in the
GnuWin32 implementation of netpbm needs to find rgb.txt in either the
normal X11 or openwin locations, or as specified by environment variable
RGBDEF.  I can work around this, by making RGBDEF point at the copy of
rgb.txt in my local Cygwin X Server installation, but the issue would 
remain
unresolved for user who do not have Cygwin installed.  Perhaps a suitable
rgb.txt should be included with GnuWin32 packages which need it (netpbm
in this instance)?

Best Regards,
Keith Marshall.
