[ruby-core:52835] [ruby-trunk - Bug #7921] Cross-compiling ruby_2_0_0 to Windows is failing (rb_w32_pow)

Issue #7921 has been updated by h.shirosaki (Hiroshi Shirosaki).


It looks like wrong header file for float.h. Just copying the header file solves that.

$ cd mingw-w32-1.0-bin_i686-darwin_20110822
$ cp i686-w64-mingw32/include/float.h lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.5.4/include/float.h

Cross compiling ruby completed on my test.

Hello,

Cross-compilation of Ruby targeting Windows (using MinGW) is an important tool for Linux/OSX developers to provide pre-compiled binary gems for Windows users. Having cross-compilation failing for Ruby 2.0 will complicate the installation of gems for the new version, as developers will not be able to provide these binaries for suers.

The error that is being triggered is coming from undefined elements:

 compiling ../dln.c
 In file included from ../include/ruby/defines.h:153:0,
                  from ../include/ruby/ruby.h:70,
                  from ../dln.c:13:
 ../include/ruby/win32.h: In function ‘rb_w32_pow’:
 ../include/ruby/win32.h:787:5: error: implicit declaration of function ‘_controlfp’

 ../include/ruby/win32.h:788:16: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
 ../include/ruby/win32.h:788:24: error: ‘_MCW_PC’ undeclared (first use in this function)
 make: *** [dln.o] Error 1

This is easily fixed by including MinGW private header _mingw_float.h:

 diff --git a/include/ruby/win32.h b/include/ruby/win32.h
 index a2eec0c..494b522 100644
 --- a/include/ruby/win32.h
 +++ b/include/ruby/win32.h
 @@ -776,6 +776,7 @@ rb_w32_pow(double x, double y)
      return powl(x, y);
  }
  #elif defined(__MINGW64_VERSION_MAJOR)
 +#include <_mingw_float.h>
  /*
   * Set floating point precision for pow() of mingw-w64 x86.
   * With default precision the result is not proper on WinXP.

I want to test this further with other cross-compiler and native compiler combinations before commit, but wanted to open this up before official 2.0 release.

Thank you.
