Bug ID: 745804
Summary: flex fails to build on Windows
Classification: Platform
Product: GStreamer
Version: git master
OS: Windows
Status: NEW
Severity: blocker
Priority: Normal
Component: cerbero
Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: slomo at coaxion.net
QA Contact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
GNOME version: ---
This happens because
a) flex requires POSIX regex (i.e. regex.h), for that I already packaged the
mingw standalone version of it. Needs to be integrated into the recipe for
Windows but that's simple and works
b) flex uses various other POSIX API not available on Windows, like fork() and
wait(). There must be compatibility implementations available somewhere as
mingw ships flex binaries but I didn't find them yet and also not the build
steps used to build the mingw flex binaries
Must be fixed before we can do a new release.
