[bug-gettext] Can't compile gettext for Windows

[Michele Locati]

Hi all,

I'm trying to compile gettext 0.19.8.1 (and iconv 0.14) for Windows.

I'm on a clean Ubuntu Server 16.04 and I'm using mxe ( http://mxe.cc/ ), but I also tried mingw32 / mingw-w64 on Ubuntu 14.04 with the same problems.

I'm only able to build for 64-bit shared.

Here's the errors I met when compiling gettext (iconv gets always compiled correctly):

- for 64-bit static: undefined reference to `__imp_xmlFree'

- for 32-bit static: undefined reference to `_imp__xmlFree'

- for 32-bit shared: undefined reference to `_imp__exit_failure' / `_imp__argmatch_die', ...

For the full build logs see the attached files. You can find the script I'm using here: https://github.com/mlocati/gettext-iconv-windows/blob/mxe/compile-iconv-gettext-windows.sh

Any hint would be really appreciated...

Thanks!

Michele
