hello IOhannes,
is gem 0.93 compiled with mingw, if not, is it planned?
it's not compiled with mingw, and it is not planned for 0.93
Gem currently does not compile with mingw (see recent postings on gem-dev@), but it would be a nice feature to have for 0.94 (help would be appreciated; hint, hint :-))
apart from mingw currently not properly compiling Gem at all, there are some more things that ought be kept in mind:
- i (personally) currently don't have time nor energy to setup a local
mingw build machine for Gem
- for video capture and image acquisition Gem uses DirectShow and i
remember that there were problems using those with mingw
- all the DirectShow stuff is no longer part of Gem proper, but lives in
plugins (cool); unfortunately the plugins (still only) have a C++ API, so you couldn't use a plugin compiled with M$VC within Gem compiled on mingw.
so having Gem build on MinGW would be great, but it is not very high on my todo list (but again, if you feel like doing the work, go ahead; in this case, it might be a good idea to join gem-dev@)
