Re: [bug-gettext] Cross compiling gettext 0.19 for Windows 64 bit results in libwinpthread-1.dll not found error

[Michele Locati]

It's quite strange: when I compiled 0.18.3 I had no such problems. Maybe I'll try an older version of debian and/or ubuntu.

BTW, I just released the new Windows binaries (see http://mlocati.github.io/gettext-iconv-windows )

Thank you

Thanks for the script.  I've just tried it (on Debian, though) and
reproduced the problem, while it also happens with gettext-0.18.3.2.

With objdump -x msginit.exe, I got:

        DLL Name: libwinpthread-1.dll
        vma:  Hint/Ord Member-Name Bound-To
        102a0      70  pthread_mutex_init
        102b8      71  pthread_mutex_lock
        102d0      74  pthread_mutex_unlock
        102e8      75  pthread_mutexattr_destroy
        10304      80  pthread_mutexattr_init
        10320      84  pthread_mutexattr_settype

So I searched on the web and found this thread:

  [Mingw-w64-public] Getting Rid of winpthread Dynamic Dependency

It seems to be unavoidable as long as the mingw-w64 gcc depends on
libwinpthread-1.dll.  Are you able to work this around by just copying
the DLL to bin/?
