There is a problem with the install step for this package: It's being rebuilt while in the package() function and it's causing it to build wrong and not install the dll properly. I had to tweak it as such:

     rm "${pkgdir}/usr/${_arch}/share/info/dir"

Also, the resulting dll filename shouldn't have a postfix or other packages won't find it, my patch fixes that.

The 32bit /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/bin/libunistring-2.dll is missing in the built package, because libtool fails to locate libiconv.dll under fakeroot during make install:

*** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -liconv.
...
*** using a file magic. Last file checked: /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/libiconv.dll.a
...
*** libtool will only create a static version of it.

Hello,

I can't compile my libcurl project statically on mingw-w64, I can use every other dependences libs statically to get rid of the DLLs, but this one fails to compile with following linker errors (related to uninorm.h) :

undefined reference to '__imp_uninorm_nfc'
undefined reference to '__imp_uninorm_nfc'
undefined reference to '__imp_UC_CATEGORY_M'
undefined reference to '__imp_uninorm_nfc'

  • I use the other AUR packages (mingw-w64-gcc, mingw-w64-curl ...etc)
  • The static file libunistring.a is created when building the package
  • I use curl's -DCURL_STATICLIB flag

The error disappears when I use the dynamic version :
LDFLAGS = -l:libunistring.a -> fails
LDFLAGS = -lunistring -> compiles, but need of DLL

Do you know if I'm doing something wrong, or if it's a bug ?

Thanks a lot

Could it link to http://ftp.gnu.org/ instead of ftp ? It hangs from my machine when downloading.
