porting application from Linux to Windows

I have to port a console application from Linux to Windows. My collegue suggest to use the command: gcc foggycsv.c -o foggycsv.exe where foggycsv.c is the file where the code is written. And the previous creator use these library:

#include <glib.h>
#include <libmachinery/machinery.h>
#include <libmachinery/ethercat-slaves.h>
#include <modbus.h>

And when I execute the first command is says

glib.h: No such file or directory

And I guess i'm gonna have trouble with also the other libraries; how can I retrieve them for windows?

Solution

  • You need some sort of a Win libraries of Glib

    Check Cygwin or MYSYS https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/ or https://www.msys2.org/

    You need to download the glib libraries and link your application.

    Please do some homework :)
