Trying to build libxml2 in MSYS2 mingw32. About a year ago using the
same commands 2.9.7 built without problems. Now neither 2.9.10 nor
2.9.7 will build, both failing in the "python" part of the build.
After downloading and unpacking libxml2 2.9.10 (2.9.7 acts the same)
did:
#in an MSYS2 mingw32 window
./configure
make
which failed.
The python section wanted to include "crypt.h". Installed that with:
pacman -S libcrypt
but it still did not find it, because the file is in /usr/include rather
than /mingw32/include. It is looking for python includes in
/usr/include/python3.7m but changing that to python2.7 did not help.
With "make V=1" found the compile line which was looking for "crypt.h"
and added to it "-I/usr/include". That got it past the crypt.h problem
but then it wanted "sys/select.h", which is I think an even bigger
problem.
I didn't see an option for 2.9.10 like "--disable-libcrypt" or anything
like that.
Anybody else run into this yet?
This was after updating all of mingw32 with "pacman -Syu" (twice)
yesterday. So I think all of the Msys2/mingw32 pieces should be
current.
Everything was updated about a year ago too, before the last build. So
some combination of mingw32 and libxml2 changes in the last year seem to
have broken things.
Thanks,
