2012-05-12 Thread Eric Smith
If a mingw package build produces a ".a" file that is not usable as a static library, is there any reason to include that ".a" file in the package at all? The specific case I'm wondering about is mingw-pthreads. I need a static version, and mingw-pthreads needs special attention to build a s

I think I may have found why I'm not getting any .dll.a and .la files for mingw-llvm. "the LLVM source code lacks the symbol export directives, [...] The autoconf build exploits a feature of MinGW's binutils that auto-exports all symbols, like in Linux." [from the thread: http://c

preparing a mingw-llvm package; problems with %mingw_configure environment variables

2012-05-07 Thread Eric Smith
I've finally found time to work on preparing a mingw-llvm-3.0 package, so that I can cross-compile a program that uses the LLVM libraries. I've run into a few problems that I could use some help with. 1) The %mingw_configure macro defines a bunch of environment variables such as AR, CXX, GC
