Does gcc now depend on libintl-devel ? Is this dependency declared?
Along with the release of cygwin 3.5.0, my CI on github started failing,
where autoconf would report that a working C compiler was not found for
the Cygwin build.
The github workflow in question: search for "Windows-Cygwin" in
https://github.com/lighttpd/lighttpd1.4/blob/master/.github/workflows/pr.yml
I added libintl-devel package to the package install list and things
started working again. This was a couple weeks ago and I forget exactly
what I did to reproduce it locally, but if you need more details, I can
try to document more carefully.
Here is the workflow job which failed two weeks ago:
https://github.com/gstrauss/lighttpd1.4/actions/runs/7841762861/job/21398761239
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in '/cygdrive/d/a/lighttpd1.4/lighttpd1.4':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
$ cygcheck gcc
Found: C:/.../cygwin64/bin/gcc.exe
C:/.../cygwin64/bin/gcc.exe
C:/.../cygwin64/bin/cygwin1.dll
C:/WINDOWS/system32/KERNEL32.dll
C:/WINDOWS/system32/ntdll.dll
C:/WINDOWS/system32/KERNELBASE.dll
C:/.../cygwin64/bin/cygiconv-2.dll
C:/.../cygwin64/bin/cygintl-8.dll
so gcc depends on packages libiconv2 and libintl8, and others, providing the
DLLs, as documented on the gcc-core package summary page:
https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/gcc-core.html
and building gcc-core etc. will require libiconv-devel and libintl-devel.
Check your package build dependencies, and config logs, as internationalized
packages, as yours may be, require any or all of gettext-devel, libiconv-devel,
libintl-devel, po4a to build, and some of your build dependencies may require
headers or libraries provided by -devel packages, as cygwin itself requires
libintl8, and those -devel packages to build.
You may want to rerun configure with --verbose messages and look at what the
failing check script and test program expects to be available to use.
