[Mingw-users] Problems with building elfutils-libelf

["Indraneel Mukherjee" <mukherjee.indraneel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I'm an absolute newbie in the MinGW world. I'm trying to use
elfutils-libelf to compile my app for Windows. Build is failing and
i'm clueless as the error message is not very clear to me.

$ ./configure --disable-shared
$make

---snip--

Making all in lib
make[2]: Entering directory `C:/msys/1.0/home/indraneelm/elfutils-0.131/lib'
gcc -D_GNU_SOURCE -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I./../libelf -I..   -fpic
-Wall -Wshadow -Werror -Wunused -Wextra  -g -O2 -MT xstrndup.o -MD -MP
-MF .deps/xstrndup.Tpo -c -o xstrndup.o xstrndup.c
xstrndup.c:1: warning: -fpic ignored for target (all code is position
independent)

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/msys/1.0/home/indraneelm/elfutils-0.131'
make: *** [all] Error 2


Even the 'make clean' fails to complete with following message

        then cat ".deps/none_ld.Tpo" >> ".deps/none_ld.Po"; \
             rm -f ".deps/none_ld.Tpo"; \
        else rm -f ".deps/none_ld.Tpo"; exit 1; \
        fi

I have MinGW, MSys and MSys-DTK installed on my system.

Is it something to do with the -fpic option for the compiler (the
warning before the build fails) ??

Any suggestions/help are welcome.

TIA,
Indro
