RE: cross-compiling Base 7.0.6 for win32

Hi Evan,

 

These functions are part of the “dbghelp” library that looks to be missing from your link line. I suspect that this library is needed in this case because it is a static build, for a shared (DLL) build it would have been linked into COM I expect. If you edit

 

    modules/libcom/test/Makefile

 

and change the PROD_SYS_LIBS_WIN32 line to be

 

PROD_SYS_LIBS_WIN32 += ws2_32 advapi32 user32 dbghelp    

 

Does that help?

Subject: cross-compiling Base 7.0.6 for win32

 

Hi Tech Talk,

 

I am attempting to build Base version 7.0.6, with “CROSS_COMPILER_TARGET_ARCHS=linux-x86_64-debug win32-x86-mingw” on Debian 11, kernel version 5.10.0-8-amd64. I am getting the following error:

 

/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-g++ -o epicsTypesTest.exe -static -L/user/daykin/git/epics-base/lib/win32-x86-mingw       -m32   -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++         epicsTypesTest.o    -lCom  -lws2_32 -ladvapi32 -luser32    -lws2_32

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

 

I suppose this has something to do with the win32 API, but I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong; I have every gcc-mingw* package installed.  Has anyone experienced this before?
