Hi
I am trying to build xmlsec using MinGW/MSys. I have built (I think)
all of the underlying libraries OK:
OpenSSL: ALL TESTS SUCCESSFUL
LibXML2: 10 errors over 2,874 tests... but: "those ebcdic tests
have never worked on Windows"
Ignore this. It is out of scope
LibXSLT: Tests seemed mostly successful - there didn't seem to be a
summary
I am using the following configure (after a "make clean"):
./configure --prefix=/projects/xmlsec/xmlsec1-1.2.18 \
--with-libxml-src=/projects/xmlsec/libxml2-2.9.0 \
--with-libxslt-src=/projects/xmlsec/libxslt-1.1.27 \
--with-openssl=/projects/xmlsec/openssl-1.0.1c \
--host=i686-pc-winnt
Note that if I do not use the --host-i686-pc-winnt option I get a
rather strange error from ./configure:
You host triplet has to be resolved to prefix of cross compiler and
--host= is option . Review you output from configure command. For instance
lest see argument i686-mingw32 . Why with this - just because name of my
cross-compiler is i686-mingw32-gcc.
$ ./config.sub i686-mingw32
i686-pc-mingw32
$ /configure ..... --host=i686-mingw32
checking build system type... x86_64-gnu-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-mingw32
...
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for i686-mingw32-gcc... i686-mingw32-gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
....
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details
Please see config.log !
Anyway, that completes OK, then I do:
[SNIP]
Followed shortly by:
xmlsec.o: In function `xmlSecAppSignFile':
E:\MinGW\msys\1.0\projects\xmlsec\xmlsec1-1.2.18\apps/xmlsec.c:1250:
undefined r
eference to `_imp__xmlSecDSigNs'
So you build is native. Error is not expected .
Skip --host argument. Ensure that you build use mingw compiler not msys
one.
[SNIP]
Now I have built openssl-1.0.1c with the "shared" option passed to its
"./config" and all appeared to be OK with that.
Not all platforms support mixing static and dynamic libraries.
Adding the --enable-static-linking flag to my ./configure doesn't seem
to make any difference.
Basically... what am I doing wrong here?
Try to build in apps directory (after make clean !) with following :
$ make CPPFLAGS='<YOU_CPPFLAGS> -DXMLSEC_EXPORT_VAR=extern'
Get <YOU_CPPFLAGS> from Makefile.
If xmlsec binary work fine build system could be improved. I mean
configuration with --enable-static-linking flag. May be binary will be
linked with static xmlsec libraries and all other as shared .
Thanks in advance.
