[Mingw-users] MSVC 2008: Linking to libmingwex.a

[Drew J. <dj...@gm...>]

Hi guys,

I am using Ubuntu 64-bit in a virtual box on Windows 7. I built
mingw64 in the virtual Ubuntu box by following the steps in
mingw-w64-howto-build.txt, and then I used mingw64 to build the FFmpeg
libraries. Now, I am trying to compile OpenCV with MSVC 2008 and link
to the FFmpeg libraries I have built. In order to fix the linker
errors, I need to link in libgcc.a, libwsock32.a, and libmingwex.a,
which I pulled from /usr/local/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib64. The first two
libraries worked fine, but when I tried to link libmingwex, I received
the following error:

libmingwex.a(lib64_libmingwex_a-log2.o) : fatal error LNK1190: invalid
fixup found, type 0x0011

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your help,
