RE: Building library for Windows

[Servesh Singh <ssingh@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Robin.
Thanks for your help.
I will try cross-compilation if MinGW does not work.

I am trying 32 bit only.

Version Details:

gcc is from perl installation:
 $  /c/Dwimperl/c/bin/gcc.exe --version
gcc.exe (GCC) 4.4.7 20111023 (prerelease) [svn/rev.180339 - mingw-w64/oz]


$ cmake.exe --version
cmake version 3.6.2


$ make --version
GNU Make 3.81

Steps I tried.
1) MinGW was installed. Using msys environment for all the command execution.
2) compiled zlib and installed (zlib-1.2.8)
3) compiled openssl and installed (openssl-1.0.2h)
4) installed 32 bit version of cmake version 3.6.2
5) cmake-3.6.2-win32-x86.
6) downloaded source libssh-0.7.3.
7) created build directory inside libssh-0.7.3 source code and executed cmake-gui.exe ..
8) Did Configure and Generate using GUI tool.
10) Did cmake .. in directory build. It passed.
11) Now whenever I do 'make' inside build direcoty  I immediately get windows cmd shell shown as below

$ pwd
/home/libssh-0.7.3/build

ssingh@IN-SSingh-LT /home/libssh-0.7.3/build
$ make
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\home\libssh-0.7.3\build>



I found that Generated make files have SHELL set  to cmd.exe
I am not sure what to do after step (8) i.e. after doing Configure and Generate of make files.
I am not able to trigger build itself and you are at least able to build 2%.


Regards,
Servesh

Tilo is offering good advice.  Perhaps cross-compiling may be a simpler way to deal with this.  I don’t know anything about cross-compiling.

I couldn’t get this to build with MinGW/32.  The status is:

1 I’m using libssh-0.7.3
2 cmake 3.6.2 generates make files
3 Compiler fails with both:
a) gcc/g++ 4.8.1 (which is provided by msys/1.0)
b) gcc/g++ 4.9.2 (which is bundled with Qt 5.6.1)

The compiler issue occurs at 2% - almost immediately.  "Conflicting types of ‘int8_t'"

Obviously, if it doesn’t compile, it will not link and cannot be installed.

Are you building 32 bit or 64 bit?  I am willing to put in more effort.  Let’s be certain we are using the same tools set (version of GCC, CMake and libssh).

Hi Robin/Tilo,
Thanks for quick response and it helped me to compile zlib and openssl .
I could generate CMakeCache.txt file but I don't  what to do next. Below is log of cmake and content of CMakeCache.txt generated from cmake-gui.exe.
For me, make and make install are not working.

Subject: Re: Building library for Windows

I'm the lead engineer for Exiv2 which is built daily on 16 platform including MinGW/32.  Here are our build notes:  http://clanmills.com/exiv2/mingw.shtml

I don't recall building libssh for MinGW, however I don't recall any special tricks required to build it for Linux or Cygwin.

Do you want a 32 or 64 bit static build?

It's 8:30 in England.  I'll look at this after breakfast and can talk on Skype if you wish 'clanmills'.

Hi Team,
I searched everywhere but could not find complete help for building static library for Windows platform using MinGW.
Please guide me if anyone has done this.
Thanks in advance,
