Fwd: Unable to extract GMP version information from gmp_version :mingw

[Jim McNamara]

Thanks Achim.

I fixed the ld_library_path.

I was wondering about the tip you gave me on devel packages not being split
from runtime in mingw. Now I know for sure.

I since added the bin directory to path for the mingw files for the x64
directory.

Very cool.  I have to crash now. I will work on this later today.

Have a good night.

Have you ever used a cross-compilation toolchain before?

Not sure what you are trying to achieve there, but even if it was
working it would be wrong.

Is your configure script set up to actually work with cross-compilation?
Your output doesn't seem to contain any notion of the configury checking
the cross toolchain.

Correct.

Whatever devel package you found there is most likely for Cygwin, but
it's hard to know without the package name.  The mingw64-* packages are
all standalone devel packages, only the Cygwin packages are split into
runtime and devel.

That's not the link library for MingW, but for Cygwin.

Maybe you look at some of the cross-compiled stuff in Cygwin and take it
from there?
