Package: mingw-w64
Version: 3.1.0-1
Severity: normal
Hi Stephen,
Thank you for maintaining mingw-w64 for debian!
I try to compile ekiga using mingw-w64 and the problem is that it
generates only a .a, not a .dll. The reason is that libtool gives
errors like this:
*** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -luuid.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
*** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have
*** because I did check the linker path looking for a file starting
*** with libuuid and none of the candidates passed a file format test
*** using a file magic. Last file checked:
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/libuuid.a
I pinned down the problem to the fact that some libraries are
recognised as archive static by libtool instead of aarchive import. I
put some echo in libtool and it shows for example:
func_win32_libid
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.9/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/lib/../lib/libdsound.a
x86 archive import
but
func_win32_libid
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.9/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/lib/libuuid.a
x86 archive static
The problem is with the ones recognised as archive static. The
following files have this problem in my case:
libdxerr9.a, libdxguid.a, libstrmiids.a, libuuid.a.
Do you know why the above files have this problem? Feel free to ask me
more information if needed.
Cheers,
Eugen
