Mingw64 a build problem #89

Closed zzopuh closed 2 months ago

zzopuh commented 2 months ago

Hello, I am trying to build HWinfo with gcc13.2.0 Mingw64 win10 x86 platform. And I have got the linker issue: *[build] [100%] Linking CXX executable HWExample.exe [build] C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/14.1.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: ../../lib/libHWinfo.a(wmi_wrapper.cpp.obj):wmi_wrapper.cp:(.text+0xc8): undefined reference to `_com_util::ConvertStringToBSTR(char const)'**

Is it possible to build HWinfo windows version and access WMI without visual studio and its libraries?

HWinfo is quite dependant on the windows API for hardware information on windows. Thus, the only supported compiler for HWinfo on windows is MSVC
