[Mingw-users] I can't distribute a program compiled with MSYS2 !

[eddie <mrc...@gm...>]

Hi to all the MSYS community,

At first MSYS is the solution i have search for years fro making 
Windows  version from my programs, passing trough code-block-mingw32, 
mingw alone, cygwin,...

---

But i come to my problem:

I can compile and launching my program mmp-2.1 which is an update from 
the Micro Music Player 
<http://www.open-source-projects.net/Micro_Music_Player/Micro_Music_Player_presentation.html> 
which I have build for Linux, the update will soon release in the hope 
their will be a Windows version too.

:: extract from my Makefile

CXXFLAGS=  -mwindows-O2-std=c++11  # we can try -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc -lstdc++ # but -lmingw32 
make fail the build
  
LDFLAGS=  `pkg-config--cflags gtk+-3.0` `pkg-config--cflags libvlc`
  
LDFLAGS=  `pkg-config--libs gtk+-3.0` `pkg-config--libs libvlc`



All success but when i come to distributing i heart to a wall:

I have make a folder outside from the MSYS installation, then copy all 
the dependencies, and finally copy the required *.dll files into my 
./bin folder like this

::

     ldd ./bin/mmp | grep mingw64 | cp $(gawk '{print $3}') 
/path/to/test/dir/bin

And when i launch the program all works fine except the initialization 
from libvlc which always return NULL ???

::

int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {

// ...   libvlc_instance_t * libvlc_inst = libvlc_new (0, NULL) ;

if (libvlc_inst == NULL) {

         fprintf(stderr,"The unborn is killed in the winbee !\n") ;
         exit(EXIT_FAILURE) ;
     }

// ... return 0 ;

}

Thanks for you answers about why my program works into the MSYS 
environment and not other way ?

I think the problem is the libvlc because the program start but libvlc 
doesn't initialize.
