Wt

Correct. Add ws2_32.lib to the linker command.

What MingW installation are you using?

Wim.

Hi Wim,

I use gcc version 4.4.1 (TDM-2 mingw32) but I didn't have a problème like this with wt 3.1.4 during compilation. I use the same compilator.

There is a problem with boost.thread.

Reason:

Default on Windows bjam builds only static multithreaded libraries in debug and release modes, using shared runtime.

But Wt is trying to link boost.thread as shared library due to bug in boost/thread/detail/config.hpp

Fix for that file:

Or we can define BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB without changing any boost stuff

Hi Wim.

I use Boost library version 1.43.0 and I have builded all with the same TDM-GCC-4.4.1_2 compilator.

I have used the void WLogger::setFile(const std::string& path) in the wt version 3.1.3 instead.

I have made your poposition and i have added -lws2_32 and -lwsock32 within the file link.txt in the directory test/CMakeFiles/test.dir but I have another problem during buld when it's time to compile SocketNotifier.C in the directory wt-3.1.5\examples\feature\socketnotifier. The compilator don't find the définition of getaddrinfo(...) and freeaddrinfo(...) functions. The build phase is made about 99% when it's happen.

I have many problems too when -lws2_32, -lwsock32 and -lmswsock aren't placed on the last of the list of libraries within link.txt. I don't understand why!

I want to try with loaden mingw32-4.4.3-4 but I don't have a time. I'll make it in future.

I would to suggest you to try with tdm-gcc-4.5.1.exe compilator, the last version of tdm-gcc.

Another question Wim, what IDE do you use for the test?(Eclipse, Code::Block, QCreator, ....)

Regards.

Tomas,

Thank you, I suspected that some patch was required or that I did something stupid. I fixed Wt's CMakeLists to include the define too if static libs are used on windows. I also had problems with some _tls symbol which I had to work around.

Lebatoto,

setFile is indeed another issue that I encountered and resolved.

The order in which libraries are specified on the ld command line is indeed important. I guess you'll find more information in the documentation of the gnu binutils.

Never mind the SocketNotifier feature example. MinGW apparantly doesn't support how it does name lookups, but the intention is merely to demonstrate how one Wt class (WSocketNotifier) works. Look at the code if you're interested in this class. Use 'make -k' to avoid that make stops at the first error it encounters. I'll exclude the SocketNotifier example from the MinGW build.

I use Visual Studio on Windows. If I compile with MinGW, I use the command line and vim as editor.

I wrote my installation instructions on the Wiki: http://redmine.webtoolkit.eu/projects/wt/wiki/Installing_Wt_on_MinGW

I will also include this patch in the next release (ISAPI does not compile becaue httpext.h is too old):
