Errors when building gdb-Insight with mingw

Question

I am trying to build Insight with mingw, but I get the following error:

make[4]: *** [pe-i386.lo] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory '/c/Users/pshek/Downloads/insight-6.8/bfd'
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory '/c/Users/pshek/Downloads/insight-6.8/bfd'
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory '/c/Users/pshek/Downloads/insight-6.8/bfd'
make[1]: [all-bfd] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/c/Users/pshek/Downloads/insight-6.8/bfd
make: *** [all] Error 2

This is what I've done:

Open mingw shell

cd to the source folder

./configure

make

I have tried this on both the most recent version of Insight, and a slightly older version, but I get similar error message both times.

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

I have had the same problem. You will be able to compile it using

./configure --disable-werror

instead of

./configure

If you have already configured it will not work even if you try with the necessary flags. Just download again the source and configure with the proper flags.

Just use already builded version:
