[jed-users] SOLVED

[frank <y199mp1505@xxxxxxxxx>]

When trying to compile  slang-pre2.3.0-111  under Windows 7 
Professional 64bit using mingw32, it turned out that the required 
mkmake.exe was missing from

C:\Program Files (x86)\slang-pre2.3.0-111\src\mkfiles\

where it used to reside.

A copy of  mkmake.exe  from a previous slang version wouldn't help. 
Windows wouldn't let it run despite juggling between compatibility 
options.

Its source file  mkmake.c  is available on the above directory but 
wouldn't compile with the required directive

gcc -DWIN32 -DSLANG_DLL=0 -I.. ./mkmake.c ../slprepr.c -o mkmake.exe

On top of all that, the directive spouts out the same error messages 
when trying to compile  mkmake.c  under ubuntu 12.04 64bit!!!

Workaround. Find a Makefile for slang src on some recent WinXP 
installation, edit it, put it in

C:\Program Files (x86)\slang-pre2.3.0-111\src\

or whatever the top slang install directory you are using. Run 
mkfiles\m32init.bat  from the top slang install directory.

It worked for me leaving out slsh and modules. Otherwise you will have 
to recover the old Makefile for them as well.

Wanted: an  mkmake.exe  that does what is supposed to do.
