1483762 - mingw-clang doesn't know about -lmincore but does know about -lversion

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General: Unsupported Platforms, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Tom Ritter [:tjr] (OOTO until 4/30 at least)]

Compiling with mingw-clang throws this error:

>  lld: error: unable to find library -lmincore

That's included for these functions:

>  lld-link: error: undefined symbol: GetFileVersionInfoSizeW
>  >>> referenced by TestNativeNt.o:(main)
>  lld-link: error: undefined symbol: GetFileVersionInfoW
>  >>> referenced by TestNativeNt.o:(main)
>  lld-link: error: undefined symbol: VerQueryValueW
>  >>> referenced by TestNativeNt.o:(main)

However, -lversion does work.  

Jacek, do you know why this might be, and if mincore is the better solution, and what we'd need to do for mingw to make mincore work?

mincode is now supported in mingw-w64. It should just work now.

Fixed with the mingw bump in another bug.
