kdevelop win32 project

[rbprogrammer]

ok, all i want is to get kdevelop to compile and run win32 gui applications. when kdevelop pops up, i choose under the new project mini window the c++ "simple win32 gui app". the code that comes up is:

#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include <config.h>
#endif
#include <windows.h>

int STDCALL
WinMain (HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE hPrev, LPSTR lpCmd, int nShow)
{
MessageBox (NULL, "Hello, Windows!", "Hello", MB_OK);
return 0;
}


but i get an [x] in a red circle on the side where the line numbers are right on the line with [WinMain]. when i run it, i get the error:

cd '/home/mike/development/kdevelop/xyz' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" make -f Makefile.cvs && mkdir '/home/mike/development/kdevelop/xyz/debug' && cd '/home/mike/development/kdevelop/xyz/debug' && CC="i586-mingw32msvc-c" CXX="i586-mingw32msvc-c++" LD="i586-mingw32msvc-ld" CXXFLAGS="-O0 -g3" "/home/mike/development/kdevelop/xyz/configure" --enable-debug=full && cd '/home/mike/development/kdevelop/xyz/debug' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" make

configure: exit 1

i have no idea why i can run windows projects. the same thin happens if i were to just do a simple terminal window "hello world" win32 application.

there has to be a package in synaptic that i should be downloading, am i right?

[llonesmiz]

I don't know if this is the problem, but you have to make sure that you have the "mingw32" package installed:

sudo apt-get install mingw32

If you have it installed I'm afraid I can't help you and you'll have to wait for someone more experienced.

I installed mingw and it solved the error "can not compile", but i get another one

I will try to look into .configure ...

Update I set cross_compiling to yes - did not help
Update 1. "Run automake&friends", after that edit ./configure


cross_compiling=yes

After that "Build Project"
Win32 "Hello world" application costs 800K on disk (debug info ?) and runs under WINE
