I am trying to recreate an environment for a C++ program that uses google's protobuf 3.5.1.1. I have built protobuf using MinGW, and all seems well. When I run the make check command, I get 5 passes and 1 fail (protobuf-test.exe fails).
The commands that I run in MSYS2 are:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make check
When I try to build the program that uses protobuf, I get a massive wall of linker errors.
Any suggestions on how to fix this issue is appreciated.
Thank you!
----- Edit -----
To solve this issue, I needed to update make protobuf in the MSYS2 MinGW 32-bit terminal.
I also needed to update MSYS2 by following these directions
Try cross compiling in a linux environment then running your make install through msys2 on windows platform.
./configure --help will display a list of flags you can include. Specifically --target="your desired target"

I am using msys2 Mingw (gcc 4.8.2 for i686 32-bit) for building Ghostscript 9.10. After running make, gs.exe was created successfully. Followed by that I ran "make so" for creating libgs library. Libgs.so, Libgs.so.9.10 were created which are of the same file size. But I found both of them to be PE executables. After renaming extension to .exe, they produced the same output as done by gs.exe. What I require is libgs.dll, libgs.a to be created, but instead "make so" creates libgs.so which is in fact a PE executable. I also tried using patch found on site:https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-ghostscript/mingw-build.patch, but still the output remains the same. Has anyone been successful in this? Kindly help me.
I presume if you follow the steps taken in the build script connected to the patch you linked, everything will work out fine. I think most of it is just to make it use the "system"'s 3rd party libraries instead of those in the GS source. I'd guess running the configure command would do.
Alternatively, you could just download the MSYS2 base system from here, and do a pacman -Syu mingw-w64-i686-ghostscript. It should download and install the binary package without you having to build it yourself.
If you really want to build it yourself, download the PKGBUILD and patch, and run makepkg from the aforementioned MSYS2 shell and have that build it for you.
Have just completed testing of gs 9.15 built executables using the a patch
MINGW-packages-master.zip from https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages
Without implementing the zlib patch and PKGBUILD and using a MINGW 4.7.3 32/64
without by ghostscript used libs installed.
They did not work as is while using msys1 pathe'd up ahead of Windoze.
I simply edited the the MINGW Build and 32/64 bit type in makefile in
and set them to =1 there. and as i built without GTK defined in ./configure
SOC_LOADER_PLAIN manually to gs.c
Check the makefile after ./configure ahead of make or make so though , , .
All went well except for the COMPILE_INITS
mkromfs build that failed so I had to set that to =0 and build without that
feature. For me personally preferred as one can patch the gs fonts and libs
much easier.
The builds run as charm with full cpu optimisers implemented
only disabling gcse and guess-branch-probability, easily outperforming
the binaries provided by http://www.ghostscript.com/ by all means.
HPC !
the basic idea was, I wanted to generate the call graph in text format for several c files. After googling around for long time, i found cflow, which can deliver everything I want, but it is only runable in Linux or else. Then I began to search how to compile the cflow source files on the web to a exe file. I found MinGW which should be able to do the cross-platform compilation.
After installing the MinGW and the MSYS and running the usual commands "./configure; make; make install", I simply got an error that "mkdir" was not found. Actually. Actually I was wondering whether this is the correct way to compile the whole package.
Does anyone has an idea how I can build the cflow.exe correctly in Windows? If there is a tutorial or something like this, I will be very thankful.

Solution
Please try this Github repository "MinGW + MSYS build of GNU cflow 1.4" (For Windows).
https://github.com/noahp/cflow-mingw
It contains already compiled "cflow.exe",and an instruction about how to build cflow using mingw and msys.
Test
System Environment:Win 8.1 (x64)
1.I tested the "cflow.exe" downloaded from the github repository , and amazingly it worked!
2.I followed the mingw compiling instruction,and it successfully compiled "cflow 1.5".
Command:
bash configure
make
I was able to do that today. I'm using cygwin, after installing gcc, binutils, make and after downloading the gnu cflow.tar.gz, it was as easy as ./configure ; make ; make install.
I'm working on a FORTRAN project and I would like to build all of the binaries that I want to maintain on a linux machine that is dedicated for automated builds. I have successfully used mingw to build 32-bit and 64-bit binaries from C source for windows machines on the linux machine with the following packages on Ubuntu.
apt-get install mingw32
apt-get install mingw-w64
Then I run the following commands to actually compile:
gcc -b amd64-mingw32msvc -V 4.4.4 -o <...other options>
However, the mingw packages that I've obtained via apt-get do not include FORTRAN compilers.
Anybody got any ideas on what I can do?
if you got mingw32 and the Gnu C cross compiler is working for you ... when why not just get the Gnu Fortran cross compiler, too?
http://www.nber.org/sys-admin/mingw32-fortran-fedora.html
EXAMPLE apt-get install mingw32-gcc-fortran
I know this is an old thread but a few things seem to have changed and people might still be interested in the topic.
Problem: I want to use my linux machine to compile some code and create a .exe that I can send to people using Windows.
Solution: Essentially here: http ://mxe.cc/
What I did:
Check to see if your system has all the software you need here
run
git clone -b stable https://github.com/mxe/mxe.git
It will download a few small things and create the directory "mxe" (probably in your home folder)
cd into that mxe directory and run "make". HOWEVER: this would take hours and take up a few GB on your hard drive so instead run something like
make mpfr eigen opencsg cgal qt
For more ideas on how to shorten that all see this or the mxe tutorial or somewhere else ;)
The easiest way to compile stuff then seems to be something like:
~/mxe/usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-gfortran -c main.f95
~/mxe/usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-gfortran main.o -o outfile.exe
Of course you can chose something other than fortran, just consult the mxe/usr/bin to see what its called.
You can always download and install a prebuilt compiler from the MinGW(-w64) project itself:
Windows 64-bit: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/rubenvb/4.6.2-1/
Windows 32-bit: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/rubenvb/4.6.2-1/
Just unpack somewhere and add the cross*/bin directory to PATH.
I include (obj)c(++) and fortran.
On Ubuntu 18.04 I use
apt install gfortran-mingw-w64
Then use the compiler x86_64-w64-mingw32-gfortran in place of gfortran. If you're using cmake, you can configure the compiler from the build directory like so:
FC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gfortran cmake ..
I'm trying to build a cross-compiler (x86->64) on my windows system, with the aim of targetting windows 64, however my software currently relies on open source libraries which also have open source dependencies for which there are no prebuilt binaries available with which I can compile. This means that if I want the 64 bit versions I need to compile them.
I've installed MSYS and mingw, I'm also in the process of adding mingw-w64 to the mix so that I can finally compile the libraries in 64 bit form for use with my software. I'm following the steps as closely as I can using these instructions and in the order listed on that page, I'm currently at the step titled "Building the GCC core cross-compiler(s)", but when I try to compile with the line:
$ ../gcc-4.6.1/configure --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --enable-targets=all && make -j 6 all-gcc && make -j 6 install-gcc
I get the output pasted here. I should note that I of course snipped the previously executed commands and that last command was the last one listed before all the errors were displayed. Also, I have no idea if it's the cause of all the errors due to the '-j 6' argument, but everything prior to it at least looked successful.
What's the problem and how can I fix it?
Oh, in anticipation of one potential suggestion; no I can't just switch to cygwin.
Edit: Okay after executing them individually, here's the output of the configure command, the output produced by make all-gcc (no -j argument), and config.log. Note, I didn't run a make clean beforehand which may explain the different ending, I didn't do it in the interest of time to write this update, but I suppose I'll just make a different compile folder and re-execute it cleanly to hopefully see the same error as before while I wait for a response.
Edit 2: The make all-gcc failed again as expected, this time the output should help a little more I hope.
Thanks very much for your help.
Your config.log shows that the build process will use the binaries in x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin for stuff like ar, as etc... These are for internal compiler use only, and they should all be available in your /mingw/bin directory. I would strongly suggest asking on the mingw-w64-public mailing list for help.
I spent the whole day setting up GCC as per
http://cygwin.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_install_GCC_4.3.0
On the gcc make step, it told me it needed a c++ compiler to continue for whatever reason,
So I updated Cygwin in the usual fashion and got gcc-c++.
After that, cgywin did me the courtesy of deleting the 3 prereq libraries that I had installed previously,
So I went about remaking them. GMP worked fine, and then I got to MPFR. For whatever reason MPFR is throwing this error:
configure: error: libgmp not found or uses a different ABI.
The resources mention this error here.
I’m pretty sure its finding GMP alright as cygcheck shows it up no problem, and the config even mentions it finds it.
When I try:
./configure --with-gmp-build=/gmp/,
it throws:
error: header files gmp-impl.h and longlong.h not found
So far I have not been able to get MPFR working, despite googling and trying for hours.
MPC also fails to find GMP in the usual manner.
I've also tried just handing the libraries to GCC in a subdirectory and letting it compile them.
When I try that, it gets to the make step, then throws a stage1-bubble error and fails. No description of the error or anything.
I have no idea what else to try.
After compiling and installing gmp, I had the same problem building mpfr until I set correctly the library search path:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
export CPATH=/usr/local/include
as it is explained in the http://cygwin.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_install_GCC_4.3.0
Instead of this:
./configure --with-gmp-build=/gmp/
USE THIS:
./configure --with-gmp-build=/gmp
It doesn't like having the "/" at the end.
I know this post is a bit dated, but I was looking for an answer or results to a similar situation but with much more current versions of the same libraries. While reading this post as for some suggestions as well as other online material I was able to piece everything together. So for anyone who may be working with the newest releases here it goes:
First you will probably want to configure, make and install GMP first for both C and C++ as static libs; also make note of the architecture x86 or x64. Once you run make, make check, make install; and you are confidant that you have no errors, then when you go to configure MPFR you will want to run it as such:
./configure --with-gmp-build=/path/to/gmp --enable-static --disable-shared
and if the paths are set properly this should give you the needed generated make file.
I'm brand new to Unix-Posix environments and commands and new to Cygwin. I've mostly used Windows platforms and very few Macs or Apples. Matter of fact I've only been working at this for a little less than a week as I'm trying to do the same thing. So now I'm venturing into a whole new world of Unix... but it's sort of simulated through Cygwin as I'm still running windows.
I'm trying to build GMP, MPIR, MPFR & MPFRC++ all from the latest original distributions and eventually will try to integrate them into Visual Studio 2017.
I had actually found this post because I was able to build MPIR through visual studio with the help of python and vyasm, but as for GMP I needed Cygwin with GCC. It took me a little while to figure out how to get GMP to build properly but once I did and ran the tests I was able to have all pass with 0 failures. I then started to work with MPFR the same as you.
My similar issue was after I ran ./configure as default, it was giving me the message that the libgmp wasn't found. Also if I tried to call make, it would do nothing as the make file didn't exist. This led me back to doing google searches... While searching for tips, suggestions etc. I came across this Q/A. While I was reading this Q/A, the install files, some other FAQ and even another website, I was kind of able to piece everything together and what I have found that works is what I suggested above.
Not only do you need to set the flag --with-gmp-build but you also need to set the appropriate library types that gmp was built as and you need to make sure that the architecture types match too. They need to have the same matching ABIs.
Ah, just as I was about to finish up typing this answer, make check just finished running through Cygwin and I have a result of:
Testsuite summary for MPFR 4.0.1
============================================================================
# TOTAL: 180
# PASS: 180
# SKIP: 0
# XFAIL: 0
# FAIL: 0
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0
============================================================================
I hope this helps you out. The only thing is for myself; I'll have to go back and probably run all of this again from the beginning including GMP only because I believe I only did GCC and not G++ and my next step is to try and build MPFRC++.
Then I might try to do some related libraries from here afterwards. My first phase is to try to build them all through Cygwin and GCC/G++. The next step will be to try and port them over to Visual Studio 2017.
You might want to use --with-gmp-lib=/path/to/gmp/lib/dir
