Could NOT compile reactos with latest mingw package for new devs to reactos it could be a problem on the webpage it says just use MingW but only the newest seperate version of gcc++ from mingw works why not have "Reactos Own MingW Build tools On reactos.com.." testet tools their work with reactos then no dlltool, compiler and wrong header problems??
http://www.reactos.com/en/reactos_developer_site/resources/download_the_reco mmended_compiler says you need to separately install GCC 3.3.1 and G++ 3.3.1 AFAIK that still works (although most people seem to be using 3.4.2 now)
Problem: Shlwapi.dll
Complains about undefined refs. to "f1" "f2" "f123" and so on what could the problem be its the newest svn version and i newer see it before now?
Can you edit shlwapi.spec, remove the "-noname" from these lines:
25 stdcall -noname IsCharAlphaWrapW(long) user32.IsCharAlphaW 26 stdcall -noname IsCharUpperWrapW(long) user32.IsCharUpperW 27 stdcall -noname IsCharLowerWrapW(long) user32.IsCharLowerW 28 stdcall -noname IsCharAlphaNumericWrapW(long) user32.IsCharAlphaNumericW
and let us know if it compiles ok then? "older" binutils (before 2.15.94 I think) have a problem with forwarding in combination with -noname.
