From: "jmarrec (Julien Marrec) via ruby-core" Date: 2024-02-02T08:56:43+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:116556] [Ruby master Feature#20233] pkg-config not working on MSVC Issue #20233 has been updated by jmarrec (Julien Marrec). Potential implemented at https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/9815#pullrequestreview-1858695400 ---------------------------------------- Feature #20233: pkg-config not working on MSVC https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20233#change-106573 * Author: jmarrec (Julien Marrec) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- The PKG_CONFIG variable is not respected in win32/Makefile.sub Also, need to ideally use the `--msvc-syntax` flag (pkgconf 1.4.0, released 7 years ago, adds it). But mostly, I realized that the `try_ldflags` in `lib/mkmf.rb` actually passes these ldflags as the `opt` parameter to the `link_command` function, and not as `ldflags`. While the UNIX systems are forgiving, the MSVC compiler is not, and because the flags are passed before the `-link`, MSVC complains that it ignores it and therefore cannot find the requested library. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ ______________________________________________ ruby-core mailing list -- ruby-core@ml.ruby-lang.org To unsubscribe send an email to ruby-core-leave@ml.ruby-lang.org ruby-core info -- https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/ruby-core.ml.ruby-lang.org/
