Hi @guilt! Thank you very much! I already looked into Windows XP support with Visual Studio when discussion #56 was opened, and even though I made sure to choose the Windows XP-compatible toolset, I still couldn't get it to work (despite having sorted out the problem of I will take a look into your solution. However, could you share the links to the same versions of GCC and CMake you used? Cheers. |

This is a 3.14.6 version of CMake - cmake-3.14.6-win32-x86.zip which I had to modify to run on Windows XP (basically, getting back the libcmuv/libcmcurl etc. from 3.13 without the async Windows Vista stuff) and putting it there. For this version, source isn't there (sadly), as I was trying this out to build llama.cpp on XP, ReactOS devs reached out out saying they maintain a newer CMake 3.17 that works on XP as part of their RosBE and so I'd recommend, going forward, we could use that instead. Version of GCC is 8.1.0, x86, sjlj which you can find archived here - I think I got it from TDM-GCC, which runs fine on XP. You'd also need the MinGW compatibility C++ headers for this compiler, which you can find here: MinGW-Compat |
Preserve default behavior of Windows Vista. Add Static Linking to GCC as well.
With minor changes, I was able to get CMake 3.14+GCC 8.1.0 building this package on Windows XP.
[Update]: On DOS, Borland C++ 3.1
makeruns out of memory when trying to build this project. I was able to get it to compile with Borland C++ 4.5 and TASM 4.0, mimicking the setup. Thanks, I'll test this out.[Update]: Error with textview.cpp is resolved, patch is simpler; I also added -DTV_USE_STATIC_RTL support for GCC; With the toolchain I've given you below, I am able to compile this on Windows 11 and run it on Windows XP as well.
[Update]: The build failure due to ICE on Linux Big Endian machine is flaky as well.
