[Mingw-users] libaddr2line.a: dependencies of libbfd.a?

[Jannick <thi...@gm...>]

Hi,

 

my ultimate goal is to have a library libaddr2line.a for MinGW compilation.
If my understanding is correct, then the library bfd is required for this. 

 

To start with, compiling the mini test program 

<main.c>

#define PACKAGE "test"

#define PACKAGE_VERSION "x.y.z"

 

#include <stdio.h>

#include <bfd.h>

 

int main(int argc, char** argv)

{

    bfd_init();

 

    char* fn=argv[0];

    printf("exe: '%s'\n", fn);

 

    bfd* file = bfd_openr(fn, 0);

 

    if (!file)

        return 1;

 

    if (bfd_check_format(file, bfd_object))

        printf("object file\n");

    else

        printf("not object file\n");

 

    bfd_close(file);

 

    return 0;

}

</main.c>

 

with

              mingw32-g++.exe -o t.exe main.c -lbfd -lintl -liberty -lz 

 

should be fine, in principle, i.e. MinGW's bfd appears to depend on the
libraries intl, (l)iberty and z, at least. For MinGW compilation gcc needs
-LC:\MinGW\msys\1.0\lib for linking. But still, the MinGW compiler is
complaining:

Am I missing another library available in the MinGW collection and to be
linked with - or is there some other easy way to produce/download the
library (lib)addr2line.a?

 

Living on Win10 with mingw32-g++ 5.3.0. Happy to provide additional
information if needed.

 

Many thanks,
