Re: Seg fault on printf when porting a Gtk app from Linux to Windows with MSYS

A follow-up: I've made some progress!

Yes.

Most of my problems came from the library conflicts between MSYS and 
MINGW or GTK for linking, and also for defining variables like datadir, 
localedir and so on.

So I've got an almost working program by following these steps, to 
insure that I use mingw/gtk instead of msys when linking and running it, 
from the msys or command.com shell:

1- Check the %PATH%, from which the msys $PATH is initialized ("you 
ensure your $PATH finds the mingw versions first")

2- Check /etc/fstab in MSYS:
C:\MinGW\   /mingw

3-
./configure --prefix=/mingw

4- Reorder appropriately the linking command (e.g. take the former one 
and remove -Lc:/MinGW/msys/1.0/lib).

Now the program does not segfault anymore. It exits on a non-existent 
directory, but I should be able to fix it.

Thanks!
