Re: [Bino-list] Problem compiling v1.4.2 for windows

[Pedro Silva Pinto]

Thanks for your quick reply, Martin!
Your script resolved the issues I had before. I successfully compiled and
made the windows installer.
Then, I installed and tried it in Windows8 64-bit, after uninstalling v1.4.1
that I was using before. It freezes and stays there, as a blank window,
indefinitely.
Also tried it in a Win7 64-bit with no previous installation of Bino. Same
result.
Do you have any idea why this happens?

Regards

Pedro

Yes, sorry about that, the README.Windows file fails to mention some current
difficulties with MXE.

1) Qt4 pkgconfig files are not in the pkgconfig search path, so one has to
tell configure where to find them.

2) One has to tell the linker to allow multiple definitions of functions

3) LibASS drags in Harfbuzz which requires libusp10, but Harfbuzz's
pkgconfig file does not list that library.

The following configure script invocation works around these problems:

MXE=/path/to/mxe
export PATH=$MXE/usr/bin:$PATH
./configure --build="`build-aux/config.guess`" \
 --host=i686-pc-mingw32 \
 --without-equalizer --without-liblircclient \  CXXFLAGS="-Wall -Wextra -O3
-fomit-frame-pointer -flto"
 LDFLAGS="-Wl,--allow-multiple-definition -flto" \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH_i686_pc_mingw32="$MXE/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/qt/lib/pkgconfig"\
 LIBS="-lusp10"

Martin
