[Mingw-users] DevIL could not link static lib

[Michal T. <mic...@ya...>]

Hi All, I ve a compilation issue with the DevIL lib.
Maybe this problem has been just discussed before, so I am sorry for placing it here one more time.
Floating on the web I have found this guy having the same problem so I am posting its question:
 
--- start
I am trying to compile DevIL (openil.sourceforge.net) from sources. The first
hurdle was finding working libpng and libjpeg binaries. Now that I have those,
compilation fails at the last step.

For those not familiar with DevIL, it has 3 parts: libIL, libILU and libILUT.
It's a bit in the same vein as OpenGL, GLU and GLUT...

Well, compilation fails when linking libILUT, which needs to link with libIL and
libILU. I get the following message:

Many thanks.
