@xantares, pixman and cairo had the same issue, lto is enabled in the main repo. I'm not sure, maybe it's better to disable it to avoid potential unexpected problems

I wonder if other packages may seem to build fine but have execution problems because of lto

maybe we should consider to turn lto off by default in this package ?

@xexaxo, I mean to use mingw-w64-cmake instead of meson. I've never used this package to compile cmake based projects, but maybe the latest commit in mingw-w64-cmake might help

@drakkan do you have an example meson project, where using mingw-w64-cmake works? I'm trying waffle and I need to remove the mingw-w64-cmake optdepends and/or cmake from the crossfile.

Otherwise meson will fail with unable to determine cmake root. The issue is that meson is executing x86_64-w64-mingw32-cmake --system-information -G Ninja, which returns nothing due to the various -DCMAKE... options added by the cmake wrapper.

May I suggest removing cmake optdepends, cmake crossfile reference and -D strip=true. Thanks

Hi @xexaxo,

for cmake based build I think using mingw-w64-cmake is a better option. I have never used meson for cmake based builds (even if meson can support them). I can remove the automatic stripping if other developers agree. The cflags mentioned are from mingw-w64-environment that is supposed to provide common environment variables and functions for building mingw-w64-packages, they aren't set here

I may have noticed a some of bugs in the package:

  • when the cmake variable is set in the cross file, meson fails to import the cmake module with "unable to determine cmake root" from here

Seems like cmake --system-information will refuse to print anything when any of the -D... options are passed.

  • the wrapper sets -D strip=true which means that everything is stripped, contradicts the guidelines which says that stripping should be done manually in the PKGBUILD

  • some binaries end up linked against libssp-0.dll, thus fail at runtime. removing '--param=ssp-buffer-size=4' and '-fstack-protector' fixes that - forwarded to mingw-w64-environment

we use CFLAGS from mingw-w64-environment

Hi!

Any progress on removing -O2 from the CFLAGS? It's breaking meson's --optimization parameter.

hello,

could you bump the release number ?

I updated mingw-w64-environment and newer flags should be taken into account

Martchus commented on 2021-03-27 20:40 (UTC)

Just export MINGW_CFLAGS and MINGW_CXXFLAGS with the flags you want before calling the wrapper.
