Thread: MinGW Compiling Issue

I'm using MinGW 3.4.5 on three different machines. One runs windows xp, another windows vista, and the last runs windows 7. I can compile perfectly fine on the windows 7 and vista machines, but for some reason I can't compile on the windows xp machine. Only the simplest example programs work. Here is the root of the problem.

src/world.h:17:18: vector: No such file or directory
src/world.h:18:19: fstream: No such file or directory

I get this for many other include files as well. I installed mingw with all the same default parameters as I did on vista and 7.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been wrestling with this for awhile now.

Well . . . it seems, at least at first, that mingw's include path isn't set correctly . . .

What have you tried to get mingw working on the Windows XP machine? What happens when you manually invoke gcc with -I<include-path> -L<lib-path>?

EDIT: the first one is an uppercase 'i', in case you were wondering . . .

I added those options like you suggested and I got the same results.

I was hunting around a bit on the mingw wiki and I found out how to change the "specs" file. I included the following options in two ways, first through my make file, and when that didn't work, through the specs file.

Options I included
-I "C:\MinGW\include\c++\3.4.5" -I "C:\MinGW\include" -L "C:\MinGW\lib"

Here is the list of include directories searched by mingw currently.

Code:

ignoring nonexistent directory "/mingw/mingw32/include"
ignoring nonexistent directory "/mingw/include"
#include "..." search starts here:
#include <...> search starts here:
 C:/MinGW/include
End of search list.

Now, it seems as though I've got only relative paths. I've got no clue what is going on here. All of the proper directories exist and they have the include files I need, but g++ and gcc cant' seem to find them on this machine.

Any suggestions?

Uhh . . . what files are in the C:\MinGW\include directory? Perhaps try a legacy or development version of MinGW?
