Windows 2000 experience. about libs-base HOT 3 CLOSED

from libs-base.

We are, of course, unlikely to actively support Windows 2000, because I don't think any of us uses Windows 2000, and setting up CI would be very difficult as well.

Sure, it's just usually helpful to know which latest version is supported for a specific operating system.
Does anyone remember which version of the latest supported Windows 9x?
Perhaps it would be useful to indicate on the site(http://www.gnustep.org/windows/installer.html)...

Actually I don't know how to fix libs-gui in configure...

Libs-gui correctly takes data from icu-config

But icu-config gives the wrong ones (I don't have -licudata)

For myself, I fixed the already generated makefile, which is not suitable for the github version.

Perhaps there is nothing to fix on the side of libs-gui, and apply a patch for icu-config...

It is possible to change two lines

https://github.com/gnustep/libs-gui/blob/master/configure.ac#L464

and

https://github.com/gnustep/libs-gui/blob/master/configure.ac#L467

and run

./configure --disable-icu-config

But it looks like too much action to me.(run custom configure)

It's easier to leave a note that if you have an error with icu then you should change config.make file

CONFIG_SYSTEM_LIB_DIR +=...

to

CONFIG_SYSTEM_LIB_DIR +=   -LC:/MinGW/lib -licuin49 -licuuc49 -licudt49  -lm -L/mingw/lib -lpng16
