Thanks.
Just to report on where I've got to so far, I am looking at
MINGW-packages/mingw-w64-libarchive, which I downloaded from github.
I've installed the base-devel and mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain packages,
then set MINGW_INSTALLS=mingw64 (to save time, as 64-bit builds are
all I'm worried about for now). I set AM_LDFLAGS="-Wc,--static
-Wc,-static-libgcc" and ran makepkg-mingw. That informed me of some
dependencies I needed, so I installed them and reran, which
successfully built. However, the resulting executable dynamically
links its dependencies:
$ objdump -p pkg/mingw-w64-x86_64-libarchive/mingw64/bin/bsdtar.exe | grep DLL
vma: Hint Time Forward DLL First
DLL Name: ADVAPI32.dll
DLL Name: KERNEL32.dll
DLL Name: msvcrt.dll
DLL Name: USER32.dll
DLL Name: libbz2-1.dll
DLL Name: libexpat-1.dll
DLL Name: libiconv-2.dll
DLL Name: liblzma-5.dll
DLL Name: liblzo2-2.dll
DLL Name: libnettle-4-7.dll
DLL Name: libsystre-0.dll
DLL Name: zlib1.dll
I tried with AM_LDFLAGS as shown above, and with CFLAGS="-static" from
the earlier suggestion. Both gave the same result, with no errors (at
least, nothing that wasn't lost in all of the rest of the build output
:-))
It's somewhat frustrating that everything seems to work, but the
output is wrong, and there's no messages explaining why the flags I'm
trying to supply were ignored. This is basically where I ended up with
my manual build process - the only reliable way I could find to get
autoconf to not use the DLLs was to never have them available in the
first place.
Thanks for the help - and if the answer ends up being "nobody knows,
and it's enough of a niche requirement that nobody can really help
much" then I'm fine with that. But if anyone *does* have any
suggestions, I'll happily try them out. If nothing else, I'm learning
a lot from the whole exercise :-)
