mingw-w64 build.

[Mohd Radzi Ibrahim]

Hi,

wx = 3.0.1
os = ubuntu 14.04

I build the library using this configure options:

../configure prefix=/usr/local/w32dll --host=i686-w64-mingw32
--enable-shared

Configured wxWidgets 3.0.1 for `i686-w64-mingw32'

Which GUI toolkit should wxWidgets use? msw
Should wxWidgets be compiled into single library? no
Should wxWidgets be linked as a shared library? yes
Should wxWidgets support Unicode? yes (using
wchar_t)
What level of wxWidgets compatibility should be enabled?
wxWidgets 2.6 no
wxWidgets 2.8 yes
Which libraries should wxWidgets use?
STL no
jpeg builtin
png builtin
regex builtin
tiff builtin
zlib builtin
expat builtin
libmspack no
sdl no


after make and make install, the lib created in /usr/local/w32dll/lib
contains suffixes i686-w64-mingw32.dll.a

The problem is, when I use 'wx-config --libs' I have those without the
suffixes returned:

-L/usr/local/w32dll/lib -Wl,--subsystem,windows -mwindows
-lwx_mswu_xrc-3.0 -lwx_mswu_webview-3.0 -lwx_mswu_html-3.0 -lwx_mswu_qa-3.0
-lwx_mswu_adv-3.0 -lwx_mswu_core-3.0 -lwx_baseu_xml-3.0 -lwx_baseu_net-3.0
-lwx_baseu-3.0


Is there something missing in my ../configure that causes this to happen?

Thank you in advance.


best regards,
Radzi.

This is a known bug in wx-config, I think you should be able to work
around it by passing --host=i686-w64-mingw32 to it explicitly.

Thanks for the suggestion.

My solution is putting --build=x86_64-linux during configure resulting
wx-config that uses the library with correct suffix.

best regards,
Radzi.
