[Mingw-users] xmingw problem: runtime library

[Kuang-Chun C. <kc...@gm...>]

Hi,

I download cross mingw packages and try to build them on
RH/EL 44.

When I compiled "all" packages (using build script download
from MingGW's wiki web) ... I found crt2.o is missing.

I did ask similar question here before and got answer from
Keith Marshall who told me I should use mingw-runtime-3.9
to get crt2.o and upgrade to mingw-runtime-3.10 because 3.10
can't create crt2.o correctly.

Now I get new version mingw-runtime-3.10-20060909-1 but
this still fail to create crt2.o correctly.

The error message of "configure" is:

...
checking for i686-pc-mingw32-dlltool... i686-pc-mingw32-dlltool
checking for i686-pc-mingw32-windres... i686-pc-mingw32-windres
checking how to run the C preprocessor... i686-pc-mingw32-gcc -E
checking for egrep... grep -E
checking for working alloca.h... configure: error: Link tests are not
allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES.

This also happen for version 3.9 ... however, if I just hit <CR> to
ignore the error ... 3.9 can continue it's build process and create
crt2.o (it doesn't install correctly ... I need to install by copy it manually).

For version 3.10-20060909-1 ... ignore this error will not wok.
It will show another error message:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

and stop building anything ...

Is this a known problem ?
How to fix it ?
Currently, I'm still using version 3.9 ... and do want to upgrade to
version 3.10-20060909-1 or later version.   Where can I get the
latest source of mingw-runtime ?
Thanks
