Hi,
Before writing any formal bug report I thought I might ask first whether the
problem I am seeing is something that can be even fixed from Cygwin's side.
The issue has to do with the compilation of Python binary packages for Python
inside Cygwin (Python installed as a Cygwin package as opposed to Python for
Windows).
The problem starts to show as gcc warnings: "[…] redeclared without dllimport
attribute: previous dllimport ignored", and ends with linkers errors such as:
"relocation truncated to fit [...] against undefined symbol".
I am guessing the problem might actually lie within the Python sources itself
but I am not entirely sure.
So is this some issue that is even worth further research and filing a bug
report here?
On windows all symbols must be available at linking time.
Cygwin programs/libraries have the same constrain.
Can you report the full command that produce :
""relocation truncated to fit [...] against undefined symbol"." ?
Are you building a specific program or it is your own development ?
I also wonder about:
- 32-bit versus 64-bit Cygwin, whether it may be an issue
- Such a build would need to be treated as a Posix build,
not a Windows build, and probably should not be trying to
access Windows libraries (as opposed to Cygwin libraries)
dllimport is meaningful for Windows, not for Posix, I believe.
So I wonder if you're actually running Cygwin's gcc ...
Anyway, some things to check into ...
