Re: Building library for Windows

[Robin Mills <robin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have doubts about using cmake-3.6.2-win32-x86 on MinGW.  The fact that your Makefile throws you into a DOS shell confirms my suspicion that cmake-3.6.2-win32-x86 is intended for use from DOS.  It generates Makefiles that use DOS commands.  You should build cmake in MinGW from source and and use $ make install it (into /usr/bin/cmake.exe)

I built my cmake/MinGW/32 from source.  I had to edit an included MS/sdk file (sdkddkver.h) to ignore a pragma that killed the cmake bootstrap.  However I got cmake.exe built and I believe it’s working OK.

Cross-compiling is probably your best bet.  I’ve also read that cross compiling is much faster.

///////////////////

I discovered this afternoon (from comments in our buildserver scripts) that I have never succeeded in getting libssh to build on MinGW/32!  libssh is an optional part of Exiv2.  Exiv2 builds fine on MinGW/32 using the autotools without the optional libssh.

Exiv2 builds with CMake (and autotools) on Linux, MacOS-X, Cygwin and MSVC (2005,8,10,12,13 and 15).  I’ve given up trying to build Exiv2 with CMake on MinGW/32.  MinGW/32/CMake seems to be a toxic mix.
