Mingw compilation

 

Hello the developers,

I have just finished to compile the last /trunk from SVN under MSYS/MINGW on
a fresh PC and the result is now working. I am a newbie in GNU compilation
and have followed the instructions found on how-to-build-kicad.txt.

But, in order to be successful I had obliged to modify the following .rc
files (and only these) to correct always the same error, (filename.ico not
found) :

cvpcb.rc
eeschema.rc
kicad.rc
pcbnew.rc

The modification executed are located at the line(s) .. ICON
<filename>.ico, in order to put the full path because the compiler complains
that the <filename>.icon is not found.

I know that is not an elegant solution, so I ask you what is the right way
or where I am wrong ?

Finally, the make install, not copy the mingwm10.dll (nor other .dll) file
in the <install directory>.winexe.

Thank you everybody for your beautiful job.
