Build Failure (Linux, Cross-Compile)

[arrmo]

Hi,

I am able to get the CLI to build under Linux (good news there ... ). However, if I try to cross-compile to Windows (using the command provided in the HandBrake wiki), I get the following error ...

Code: Select all

So it seems that the library libiberty is mising somehow for MinGW. Any thoughts how to correct this?

Thanks!

Moving to *nix. The Development forum is for developer discussion and patch submission only.

If you're having trouble compiling, you may have more luck visiting our IRC channel.

Hi,

I found the problem - it's because some (many?) Linux distributions are not including libiberty.a as part of the MinGW install. I downloaded and built binutils, then added the resulting libiberty.a to the MinGW library - and now it builds (and runs, cross-compiled for Windows!).

It's obviously the developers call, but it may be worth considering including this as part of the build.

Thanks!
