Can't run (cross-)compiled binary on Windows #31

Closed Rob--W closed 2 years ago

Rob--W commented 6 years ago

I cross-compiled for Windows on Linux based on the instructions at https://github.com/libyal/libfvde/wiki/Building. Instead of MinGW32 I used MinGW-W64, with the following command:

./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --enable-winapi=yes

The above produces a binary (e.g. fvdeinfo.exe), but when I run it on Windows 7, I get the following error:

The program can't start because libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

It seems that libvfde-1.dll is dynamically linked against libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll, which is not present on Windows 7 by default. I tried --enable-static-executables=yes as suggested by the wiki, but that didn't compile at all. I also tried overriding CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, but that had no effect.

Ultimately I got a working binary with:

CC=/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-gcc\ -static-libgcc ./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --enable-winapi=yes

Unclear if this is an issue or an FYI. Documentation mentions that cygwin builds are dependent on other DLLs. Documentation cannot account for every edge case possible, closing issue.
