It looks like the github windows build environment is not correctly
inheriting environment variables. Which is strange, as that has not
been changed with the recent updates. Include the vars directly as a
workaround (and plan to refactor later)
* Provide a minimal reimplementation of our autoconf, to try windows builds
* Try building with windows
* Fix thinko in spelling
* Ensure shell script runs inside a shell
* Add a hack to aid include discovery
* Just keep adding tech debt...
* Assume that we will have slashes in some of the replacement strings and avoid that char with sed
* Restore one slash
* Hack around the tools makefile interdependancy bug
* A correct cflags include hack for each compile dir
* Ensure we link against winsock (note, even though this says 32bit, it should link the 64bit library ... I think)
* Bad link ordering if we dont use LDLIBS
* Remove unused make variable
* Remove makefile duplication using inheritance (this does mean you can no longer cd tools; make, but must do make tools)
* Add missing library for win32
* Show OS variable
* Make hack autoconf more robust for tests on non gitlab runners
* Remove no longer used substitutions from hack autoconf
* Add missing include path to tools under win32
* Build the win32 subdir when the compiler is Msys
* The different subdirs have different dependancies
* Ensure we can find the include files
* Fix library link ordering
* Ensure the tools dir can find the special win32 lib
* Deal with the differing basic type sizes on both linux/64bit and windows/64bit
* Document the steps to mimic the github windows/mingw build locally - to allow for simpler debugging
* Ensure branch name in instructions matches my test branch name
* Clarify the shell needed to build with mingw
* Since the makefile depends on knowing the OS, raise a fatal error if we cannot determine this
* Handling different compile environments is hard.
- Linux: sane and reasonable results for both uname -s (=Linux) and
uname -o (=GNU/Linux)
- Windows/Mingw: insane results for uname -s
(=MSYS_NT-$MAJOR.$MINOR-$BUILDNR) but sane results for uname -o (Msys)
- Macos: sane results for uname -s (=Darwin) but does not support
uname -o at all
* Revamp the way that Mingw is detected
* Avoid attempting to generate gcovr report when running under windows
* Whoops, isolate the right step
* Fix spelling mistake
* win32/Makefile: Remove unused setting and add comment
* ensure that all win32 includes use the same expected path
* Allow simpler cross compilation by letting configure pass the CC and AR environment through
* Avoid multiple '_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS redefined' warnings
* Convert to a consolidated CONFIG_TARGET variable to select any different compile options
* Use the more generic printf defines to avoid warnings on mingw
* Update mingw build docs
* English better for reader happy make
* Address a number of mingw compiler warnings
* Fix Visual C compile
* Be sure to document some of the hacky nature of the mingw build
