Jost, this is not good indeed, could you be so kind and let us know your nm --version? I guess mingw is using GNU binutils so I'm curious what old nm it is when it fails to implement POSIX output... Thanks! Karel On 03/23/14 05:51 PM, Jost Berthold wrote:

Hello,

With the patch to deriveConstants, a build on an older Windows (32bit Vista, MinGW32 installation, which used to work) now fails with error

Can't find "STD_HDR_SIZE"

I ran the nm command manually on the generated o file (includes/dist-derivedconstants/header/tmp.o) and saw that the output follows pattern

_derivedConstantBlaBlah_Blah C 000001b

so it does not match the four-word pattern in the patch.

Is this a problem with my setup, or does it fail for other people on Windows as well?

Thanks, Jost

Hi, sorry, I've missed this thread. Did you just run "nm" or "nm -P" on includes/dist-derivedconstants/header/tmp.o? The comment should say how the output looks like. For GNU nm (without option -P) is was: "0000000b C derivedConstantMAX_Vanilla_REG" if it is now: "_derivedConstantBlaBlah_Blah C 000001b" for "nm -P" on Windows the patch could (and should) be adjusted, easily. (The 4th word only needs to be present and taken if the second word is not a "C", which is only the case under Solaris.) HTH Christian Am 23.03.2014 17:51, schrieb Jost Berthold:
