gEDA-user: vpi compile mingw

["CN" <mis4@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got most of the modules built; the synthesis portion appears to be working.  However vpi fails make check.  I had to supply c:/cygwin/lib/libc.a to the link step for the vpi build to complete;  otherwise I get undefined references to `fseeko' and  `ftello'.  I do not know if that is the correct libc,  but that is the only one I have under the cygwin, mingw, mingw-packages, and gnuwin32 trees here.

make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/ivl_ag/v81b/vvp'
./vvp -M../vpi ./examples/hello.vvp | grep 'Hello, World.'
      3 [main] ? 4080 cygheap_fixup_in_child: Couldn't reserve 9891792 bytes of
space for cygwin's heap (0x61820000 <0xE30000>) in child, Win32 error 487
c:\ivl_ag\v81b\vvp\vvp.exe (4080): *** m.AllocationBase 0x0, m.BaseAddress 0x618
20000, m.RegionSize 0x3E0000, m.State 0x10000

Sometimes, the make check will leave my cygwin environment trashed, I have to reboot!

I get the following compile warnings:

Any suggestion on how to fix these?  I have exhaused all the options that I can think of on my own...  Thank you very much for your help.

Cordially, CN
