GnuTLS fails to build under mingw (see output below), and the reason is
that the select-tests module depends on gettimeofday module, which under
mingw does this:
AC_DEFINE([localtime], [rpl_localtime],
[Define to rpl_localtime if the replacement function should be used.])
This re-definition causes the link failure, because gettimeofday.c is
not build as part of the replacement gnulib library, so there is no
rpl_localtime symbol. It is only built in the gnulib self-test
directory (gl/tests/ in gnutls).
Does anyone see a clean solution to this problem?
It seems the '#define localtime rpl_localtime' should only be active
when building the gnulib self-tests, but how to go from that observation
to a patch that solves the problem is not clear to me.
Meanwhile, I've added a block like this:
#if GETTIMEOFDAY_CLOBBERS_LOCALTIME
#undef localtime
#endif
after #include <config.h>.
