Hi,
I am attempting to build softare (GNU libmicrohttpd) with cygport on x86, but am
getting errors when it links against libgnutls:
/usr/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libtasn1.la: No such file or directory
libtool: error: '/usr/lib/libtasn1.la' is not a valid libtool archive
Likely cause:
Cygwin gnutls-devel 3.2.21-1 installs /usr/lib/libgnutls.la and this file
references libtasn1.la
However /usr/lib/libtasn1.la has been removed as of libtans1-devel 0.49-1.
See announce message here:
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2016-08/msg00084.html .
Could the maintainers of libgnutls-devel and libtasn1 please resolve this!
The *.la files are gradually being phased out. /usr/lib/libgnutls.la
will probably be gone the next time libgnutls-devel is updated. For
now, you should be able to solve the problem by simply deleting it (or
moving it out of the way).
