[Box Backup] Compile Boxi from tarball or trunk?

Hello Chris:

After looking into your suggestions, and after some modifications (details
below) to the source, I can at least compile boxi, but the linking still
breaks with references to wxStackWalker (again, even after the changes you
outlined in the document) and some functions in
boxbackup/bin/bbackupd/Win32ServiceFunctions.h which is really weird:

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-mingw32/bin/ld:
warning: auto-importing has been activated without --enable-auto-import
specified on the command line.
This should work unless it involves constant data structures referencing
symbols from auto-imported

wxWidgets 2.6.4 does not compile with the options you point out at all, but
2.8.10 build just fine (with 2.6. compatibility enabled).

Any help (or pointers in the right direction) would be very welcome. Are we
missing an include? How does CPPunit interact with WX, and why does the
linker not find entry points to boxbackup internal functions?

Thank you in advance, Achim

Download Boxi from SVN (also fetches latest boxbackup from svn)

svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/boxi/trunk/boxi

cd boxi/
./configure-mingw.sh

Will not result in a working Makefile for box, so we need to do that
manually and downgrade to compilabe R2465 at the same time:

cd boxbackup
./infrastructure/mingw/configure.sh

cd /usr/src/boxi
./make-image-headers.pl
make

boxbackup compiles fine, boxi stops (details below) unless we apply the
following changes:

* * * wxFileDialog() * * *
Remove line 20 with the faulty (empty) default constructor in
include/TestFileDialog.h

        TestFileDialog () : wxFileDialog() { }



* * * wxStackFrame and wxStackWalker * * *
wxStackFrame and wxStackWalker are not available even after the changes in
setup.h.in and the corresponding MSW file.
change following lines (around 82) in
/usr/local/include/wx-2.8/wx/msw/chkconf.h
#    define wxUSE_ON_FATAL_EXCEPTION 1
#    define wxUSE_CRASHREPORT 1
#    define wxUSE_STACKWALKER 1

Does this perhaps von MSVC++? From the file:

/*

work
 * without it.
 */


* * * regex.h * * *

//                         - SecondsToBoxTime(rClientConfig.GetKeyValueInt(

* * * BBParams * * *

If you don't need wxThread, just pass --disable-threads to configure.
If you need wxThread then you are stuck with mingwm10.dll.
