     True too. The latter is simply my personal project, the former is
official Mingw created by Mumit Khan. With luck, mine will become part of
it.

   URLs starting with http://sourceforge.net/projects/ are standard
SourceForge group pages. From there, services and resources like full
file list, CVS browse, bug and patch tracking, statistics, etc., are
directly accessible. So they are of interest to developers,
contributors or just active users. http://<projname>.sourceforge.net
is project home page which of free form content, usually containg
project information "in plain words", so they are of interest to the
rest of the world. There is also 'www.mingw.org' domain which is
technically alias for mingw.sourceforge.net (but of course, can be
made point somewhere other when needed).

   So, if someone referring colleague to /projects/... one's probably
indirectly motivating him to consider contributing, I guess;
referrence to www.mingw.org doesn't have such connotation ;-)

It's been around for awhile.  A book I have from 1989, supposedly
documenting AT&T SVR3 and BSD 4.3 don't show it.  I seem to recall using
it in the early 90's, at least with SVR4.

This effect is not clearly documented in Linux, nor in Solaris, but is
doc'd on HP-UX.

Thanks!
I still do not understand exactly how you did it but it seems to work
except for the VideoForWindowsVersion function. The error seems to be
in the last line of MSVFW32.def. It is
_VideoForWindowsVersion@0       @2
but should be
VideoForWindowsVersion@0

Sometimes does reimp leaves garbage like that.

Would it work if I set the number of elements "big enough" ?

Thanks for the comments. Just out of curiosity, why are the ads at the top
on the mingw list now? Other egroups lists I am on have them at the bottom.
Frankly, the ads at the top is enough to make me want to move, if I were the
one making the decision. They are just too obtrusive. Ads at the bottom are
fine, and seem a reasonable way of supporting a free mailing list. But at
the top distracts too much from the content.

If mingw were staying with Egroups, I'd start looking for a way of
automatically filtering the ads now that they are at the top - this seems to
me to defeat the object....

Paul.

Thanks to Earnie for taking care of the move. It was good fun to
see the member list grow over the past year and to participate as a
moderator.

If I were referring someone to MinGW I would send them to http://www.mingw.org.

I note there's also http://mingw.sourceforge.net as well as
http://mingwrep.sourceforge.net .  The content is different, of course,
so there's an operational difference.  If one were to be referring a
colleague to one of the URL's for the mingw32 compiler, why might one

     Just to make point more clear: Earnie Boyd and Dale Handerson are
"owners" (in eGroups terms) of current maillist. They are persons in
position to start such move. Decision to do the relocation of list to
sourceforge was made by current admins of Mingw project, see
http://sourceforge.net/mingw/ for who's who. Since relocation will be
transparent for subscribers, I see no grounds for discontent.

     As for eGroups, it does great job for allowing people easily start
their discussion forums, and we used their services for a long time
with appreciation. However, now we are reaching the new level and
having more freedom and control (that's what SourceForge gives) will
be benificial.

     For last, about features SF maillist will have. List will be run
by GNU Mailman. It offers all usual majordomo capabilities, such as
immediate/digested delivery, pause, etc. What it does not offer (at least
AFAIK) is web-based access (to list's messages, I mean). However,
that's not problem since list will archived by www.geocrawler.com . The
latter should have web-posting ability too, I believe.

     So, there's hardly be any feature lacking with new maillist, and
most people probably simply won't notice movement at all ;-)


      Last note about Mingw project itself: its our project, and won't
run without our own attention. So, everyone is welcome. If you have
some ideas how to make Mingw live and develop, and going to spend time
on this, send mail to Earnie Boyd or just post here (well, there - to
new maillist ;-) ). Even if you just spotted bug or made little patch
which allowed for more smooth compilation, please consider spending
couple of minutes to post it in appropriate project section at SF (Well,
to be precise, we didn't discussed precise bug/patch flow procedure,
so any comments welcome).

The function is in the DLL - OK. But is it also in the Import Library ?

Maybe You should recreate the import-lib from the DLL on your System.

1) It should not require any more time to run the new list.
2) The GNU Mailman gives me greater administrative control.

1) Members can receive individual mails, digests and view the archives online.
    However, a member does not have an option of not receiving the mail.
2) Non-members will be able to post and view the archives online.
    I will allow Non-members to post.

The current administration is a total of 2 persons.  The new list will be 3
persons.  The amount of time to administrate once setup should be minimal.

Of the persons who had set "Web Viewing Only" those will be the ones that would
not have joined if they weren't forced to.  I have no idea of the number of
those persons.  Since non-members can view the archives and post this will
serve the same as what they are getting now.

If you do end up moving the list for better control and flexibility,
I'd be interseted to know the specifics. It's one of my personal goals
to have our product be better than running a mailing list on your own
machine. That goal is some of the motivation behind the Activity
logging, and the up-and-coming web/email traffic graphs.

Of course we understand not everyone is willing to use an advertising
supported service, so if the banners are your primary motivation I
understand. In case you didn't know, we do have an option to pay-for
no ads. It's about $60 per group for a year of no-ads.

This is now sounding too much like some sales pitch so I'll have to
stop before someone revokes my engineering skills.

P.S. Mingw32 is great stuff. I hope to get my DirectDraw game engine
compiling with it someday soon.

I run several mail lists. An important issue to consider is the
the time it will require to keep the list running. The list should
not take a step backwards because of this--the new list should offer
all of the functionality of eGroups. Otherwise, the membership will
see this move as having personal motivations rather than the good

Surely the natural progression of any large organization is to bring
mail list management in-house for better control and flexibility.
Are we now of that size? Is there enough volunteer time to handle this

that should be addressed when attempting to achieve a mutually agreeable

Hi

I'm trying to link a program to _TrackMouseEvent
which is described on

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/winui/mousinpt_0buc.htm

It's not the same call as TrackMouseEvent, which is described
on

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/winui/mousinpt_9gxg.htm

_TrackMouseEvent is part of comctrl32.dll, which is in my link
line.  I checked with objdump --all-headers, and it appears
that the function is present in my copy of the DLL.  This
command writes out symbol names without _ and @n but of course
_TrackMouseEvent still has an underscore since it is part of the
name proper.

But when I try to link, I get an error with 'undefined reference
to _TrackMouseEvent@4'.

Am I using the right option to objdump?  It was the only one I
could get to tell me the symbols exported, but it doesn't give
the @4 bit so I can't tell whether the parameter number is right.
However I can see from .h files on a VC++ machine that it has
1 parameter, in fact it seems to have the same type as
TrackMouseEvent.

Here's how I try to call it:

extern BOOL WINAPI _TrackMouseEvent(LPTRACKMOUSEEVENT x);

BOOL
betaTrackMouseEvent(void *x)
{
   return _TrackMouseEvent(x);
}

Could it be that ld is stripping both of the _'s from the
start?  I checked my .obj file with objdump --syms and it
reported __TrackMouseEvent@4 as one of the symbols as I
would expect.

Any ideas?

I'm using the 2.95.2 release of course, on NT4, with SP5
AFAIK.

Since you are not the only one using the list, is it not better to ask how
others
feel about it?
The flexibility eGroups offers makes me like it, banners or not. After all,
they
need to survive too, and pay their bills.

Hmm, yes. I almost forgot that the Mingw site moved there too. But moving
the list just because of the ad banners seemed like overkill to me. More
hassle than it would be worth. But I see your point. Thanks.

I've contemplated moving the list for more than six months.  It makes since to
have it with the web site.  And the move of the flashing banners to the top of
the mail just aggrevates me enough to finally do it.

I have reset all subscribers to individual email in order to be certain that
all of you have this notice.

Not before 17:00 EDT on Wednesday, September 5th, I will move this list to
mingw-users@....  You do not need to register at
mingw-users@..., I will add your name.  At the same time I
will update each account at mingw32@egroups.com to not receive any mail and
adjust that list so that posters receive an automatic notice about the move.

The VFW32 import library is wrong. The original VFW32.LIB refers to three
DLLs: MSVFW32.DLL, AVIFIL32.DLL and AVICAP32.DLL, and not the nonexistent
VFW32.DLL. I've out in the zip the corresponding DEF files (made with
reimp), and a import library made by extracting and merging the objects from
the three import libraries.

There's no real need for this, You can always link to all three importlibs.

try
ar --help

There's one command for extracting, and one for adding object files from/to lib
(.a) files. Extract all objects from two of the libs, and add them to the
third. This should be the implib you need.

Where's the problem - many Windows structs are similar.

gcc should accept that, but you can always try to replace
PALETTEENTRY peNew[];  with
PALETTEENTRY *peNew;

Ciao,

Mingw32 already has import libraries for "video for windows"
but libvfw32.a is broken. It tries to link to vfw32.dll but no such
file exists instead should it link to 3 different dlls.
How do I create a import library for several dlls?

Another problem is this in the header files:
typedef struct
   {
       BYTE  bFirstEntry;  /* first entry to change */
       BYTE  bNumEntries;  /* # entries to change (0 if
256) */
       WORD  wFlags;   /* Mostly to preserve
alignment... */
       PALETTEENTRY peNew[];  /* New color specifications */
} AVIPALCHANGE;
The problem is that peNew does not have a fixed number of elements.
How can this be translated to something that gcc accepts?

I will in the near furture move this list to mingw-users@....
  I should be able to add all current subscribers, however, the mode will be to
receive individual mails.  When I move the list you will receive a confirmation
from mingw-users@... giving you a user password which you can
then change.  At that time you'll want to check the method of mail delivery as
everyone will be set to receive individual mails.

If you do not wish to be moved, then unsubscribe from this list today.

Cheers,
