- We have an issue with mingw cross compilation. https://github.com/ovsrobot/dpdk/actions/runs/3039251235/jobs/4893964186 + meson build --werror --cross-file config/x86/cross-mingw -Dexamples=helloworld -Dplatform=generic --default-library=static --buildtype=debugoptimized -Dcheck_includes=true The Meson build system Version: 0.53.0 Source dir: /home/runner/work/dpdk/dpdk Build dir: /home/runner/work/dpdk/dpdk/build Build type: cross build Program cat found: YES (/usr/bin/cat) Project name: DPDK Project version: 22.11.0-rc0 C compiler for the build machine: ccache gcc (gcc 9.4.0 "gcc (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1) 9.4.0") C linker for the build machine: gcc GNU ld.bfd 2.34 meson.build:4:0: ERROR: Unable to determine dynamic linker - I reproduced locally, it looks like meson is trying to pass some -fuse-ld option that is not understood. 4577 write(2, "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option \342\200\230-fuse-ld=x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld\342\200\231\n", 101) = 101 - Upgrading to 0.53.1, I don't see the issue anymore for mingw, so I pushed a branch in GHA to get a status for other targets. https://github.com/david-marchand/dpdk/actions/runs/3205007946 -- David Marchand
