Unable to build MinGW OpenLDAP in Cygwin: gcc no longer supports the "-mno-cygwin" flag?



Hi, OpenLDAP developers,

 

I am trying to build OpenLDAP client libraries on Windows by following the instructions listed on the OpenLDAP.org Faq-O-Matic.

 

Building MinGW OpenLDAP in a Cygwin Environment

http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/302.html

 

 

In the MinGW Support in Cygwin section

http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/301.html

 

 

To create the wrapper script, start the Cygwin bash shell, and execute the following:

        $ cd /usr/bin

        $ cat > mgcc

        #!/bin/sh

        gcc -mno-cygwin $*

        ^D

 

The problem is that it seems gcc no longer supports the “-mno-cygwin” flag:

 

$ gcc -mno-cygwin

gcc: The -mno-cygwin flag has been removed; use a mingw-targeted cross-compiler.

 

 

 

I am currently using Cygwin version …

 

$ uname -a

CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 hostname 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) 2011-03-29 10:10 i686 Cygwin

 

And my gcc version is …

 

$ gcc -v

Using built-in specs.

Target: i686-pc-cygwin

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks.
