Hi.

I'd like to explore the source a bit of various open source programs
like Gnugo and Fuego, so I wanted to see if I could compile them from
the source on a Windows computer.

I was able to compile Gnugo using Cygwin, but I had more problems trying to compile Fuego with either Cygwin or Mingw under windows.

I've followed these instructions:

http://fuego.sourceforge.net/fuego-doc- ... mingw.html

The 'make' command didn't seem to get very far before it aborted with
a weird error, so based on:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/fuego/ticket/80

I changed

CXXFLAGS="-O3 -ffast-math -DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++"

to

CXXFLAGS="-O3 -ffast-math -fpermissive -DBOOST_FILESYSTEM_DEPRECATED -DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++"


That seemed to resolve the error, but eventually the 'make' command
still failed to generate the fuego.exe executable.

The output of the make command was:

The config.log file generated was:

Does anyone have any idea what goes wrong here?

It can't find your boost thread library. Sorry I can't give more help than that, I'm not really a windows user. Your best bet is probably to email the fuego-dev mailing list: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/lis ... uego-devel

You could also try reporting a bug on the trac (which you already found), maybe it would get resolved that way.

If I were trying to fix this myself, I'd make sure the boost thread library installed and maybe see if you can make a simple program with it.

Thanks, I'll also try inquiring about the issue on the fuego mailinglist.

I think I have the boost library installed properly, because when I run configure before the make command,
it seems to check and indicate I have the boost libraries available.
