compile problem for libcurl ?
BlitzMax Forums/Brucey's Modules/compile problem for libcurl ?
| ||
| hi all, i just pulled down the bah.libcurl (latest) from google code. i'm using other brucey modules (brucey is awesome btw ... i'm loving hist module ports). i'm getting a compile error, with a function in the 'ares' stuff that comes with the module. "conflicting types for ares_gettimeofday", and the ide points me at the function in windows_port.c. i poked on the internetz for problems with libcurl compiling, and i found some info that sounded like there was possibly a problem with compiling the 'ares' stuff with mingw ... but i couldn't tell what the patch files that i found were suggesting as the fix. anyone know about this issue ? i assume people have been able to compile the module. dont know why i'm having a problem ... thanks, Tony |

| hrm ... i guess i "fixed" it. i had my machine configured to use a slightly older version of mingw for some other issues i had been having for some other project. for goofs, i changed my configuration to using my newer MinGW install, and my problem went away. yikes. Tony |

| Ah yes... MinGW issues. Sometimes errors are a little mysterious, especially when "other people" appear to have no problems using the same code. I find that the newest version tends to mostly work better. More so as I update a library to its most recent version. Of course, now we effectively have TWO versions of MinGW out in the wild, GCC 3.x and GCC 4.x, it makes things a wee bit more interesting... Anyway. Glad you got it sorted out :-) |
