libdep.a (i.e. binutils under MSYS2) is either not designed to run on Microsoft Windows or it contains an error #70

Hello!

In the process of attempting to use your amazing memory profiling application, I am greeted with the following error depicted at the screenshot [ 1 ] shown below.

[ 1 ] - https://imgur.com/a/MNi1e34

The library it references seems to be tied towards binutils within MSYS2 which we use for compiling our Small World Deluxe project (i.e. the application under test) and we are not able to proceed any further from here, with MTuner immediately freezing after closing that dialog (which appears at least twice). We have to forcibly end the task.

I see that MSYS2 is referenced within the Issues database of this project (see: Issue #38), albeit sometime ago, so I'm not sure why support for it is no longer present? Unless perhaps something has changed in the meantime since then. Any and all help would be sincerely appreciated, thank you, as I'd very much like to use MTuner as part of the testing and qualifying process for Small World Deluxe.

Can you attach the screenshot here? I can't seem to open it.

the same error

milostosic commented 3 years ago

Since quite a few people seem to have this problem - does anyone have a simple way to reproduce it? Would save me a lot of time that I'm quite short on anyway

phobos-dthorga commented 3 years ago

I have no clue how you'd reproduce this. Hopefully, someone knows a way.

https://github.com/MarcosLeonardoMendezGerencir/hb-raylib This library gives the error

milostosic commented 3 years ago

It's clearly toolchain related and, by extension, build process used. So sending me a link to code doesn't help - if you can share your build process/scripts that I can follow to locally reproduce a problem then it should be reasonably fast for me to find the problem.

MarcosLeonardoMendezGerencir commented 3 years ago

Does it have something to do with the executables being dependent on the libwinpthread-1.dll?

prgwiz commented 3 years ago

Looks like it has something to do with the ar command. Capture
