hi,
while we try to compile gstreamer on fedora with mingw we got and error
----------------------------------------
error: storage size of 'stat_results' isn't known
----------------------------------------
and the reason is that because __stat64 is defined in
/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/sys/stat.h
but only as :
----------------------------------------
#if __MSVCRT_VERSION__ >= 0x0601
struct __stat64
{
    _dev_t st_dev;
    _ino_t st_ino;
    _mode_t st_mode;
    short st_nlink;
    short st_uid;
    short st_gid;
    _dev_t st_rdev;
    __int64 st_size;
    __time64_t st_atime;
    __time64_t st_mtime;
    __time64_t st_ctime;
};
#endif /* __MSVCRT_VERSION__ */
----------------------------------------
and at the same time in by default in
/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/_mingw.h :
----------------------------------------
#ifndef __MSVCRT_VERSION__
/*  High byte is the major version, low byte is the minor. */
# define __MSVCRT_VERSION__ 0x0600
#endif
----------------------------------------
this means mingw do not contain any 64 bit version stat by default.
ok i can build with:
make CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -D__MSVCRT_VERSION__=0x0601"
but imho it's a bug in gstreamer. ie. it should have to add to the default gcc
argument the above if it's configured for mingw.
i don't know where whould be the best place to add it configure or libtool
or...
but would be useful to add if someone like to compile with mingw for windows.
yours.
anyway the full error log is:
