Building elinks-git fails with undefined references to SCM_* symbols

[sskras]

Today I tried rebuilding elinks-git package in MSYS2 (first timer):

$ git clone "https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages"
$ cd MSYS2-packages/
$ cd elinks-git/
$ makepkg -sCLf
==> ERROR: Cannot find the strip binary required for object file stripping.

After encountering this error, I installed packages mentioned in Wiki and rerun the build:

$ pacman -S base-devel
  [...]
$ pacman -S msys2-devel
  [...]
$ makepkg -sCLf
  [...]

    Aborting...

It fails with undefined references in the middle of output and at the end. Seems like they are related to Guile lib. My versions:

$ pacman -Ss guile
msys/guile 2.2.3-1 [installed]
    a portable, embeddable Scheme implementation written in C
msys/libguile 2.2.3-1 (libraries) [installed]
    a portable, embeddable Scheme implementation written in C
msys/libguile-devel 2.2.3-1 (development) [installed]
    a portable, embeddable Scheme implementation written in C

Guile was recently updated...I wonder if elinks can handle the new dependency?

[Jayji]

elinks.exe: error while loading shared libraries: msys-guile-2.0-22.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Incompatible with the latest guile it seems. Also croaks on the ruby version msys2 uses.

I managed to create a version of lua that works on msys and can be used with elinks, also introduced a few changes from debian so that it now supports full color output.
