[mingw64] [repo] Failing to compile libpng

[Ashitemaru]

I pulled down the repo and double clicked the .bat file to run, the libpng kept failing at the make stage.

I checked the .Plo files mentioned in the log and found it incomplete like this:

// .deps/png.Plo
[...]
C:/media-autobuild_suite/msys64/mingw64/include/shellapi.h:
C:/media-autobuild_suite/msys64/mingw64/include/winperf.h:

C:/media-autobuild_suite/msys64/mingw64/inclu
[No newline at the end of the file]

I tried to locate which command would create these .Plo files but failed because I've never used automake before.

Here is the output:

Attach C:\media-autobuild_suite\build\logs.zip to the GitHub issue.
Make sure the suite is up-to-date before reporting an issue. It might've been fixed already.

Try running the build again at a later time.

Weird, all the .Plo files seem to be clipped to around 41KB (41495 bytes). Which config can do this?

[Biswa96]

Just delete the libpng-git directory and try again.

Just delete the libpng-git directory and try again.

Sadly, I delete the dir and re-run the .bat, the error persists.

Antivirus?

Antivirus?

Oh it makes sense. I'll try it later on my another laptop with no antivirus on it. Thanks.

[Ashitemaru]

Although it still took a long time, but I finally passed compilation after using a laptop without antivirus. Thanks for advice.
