Description Andras Becsi 2011-02-23 08:35:32 PST
After the recent build system changes the MinGW linking fails with undefined reference errors. Apparently the compiler does not like the current library order.
Comment 1 Andras Becsi 2011-02-23 08:41:39 PST
This documentation says:
http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/gccintro/gccintro_18.html

"Most current linkers will search all libraries, regardless of order, but since some do not do this it is best to follow the convention of ordering libraries from left to right."

The problem win-gcc has is that the webcore and jscore libraries are after the windows libraries in the build command line, so there are unresolved symbols.

I don't set r?, so Laszlo can check whether it works on Symbian, Ossy already shut down our Windows bots.

No regression on Symbian build from this patch. Patch looks good to me, please put it up for review.

Clearing flags.

Reopen, because it still fails with MinGW on Windows. (But works with cross-MinGW on Linux - with same MinGW version)

I prefer to close this as DUP as the other bug was opened earlier for MingW on Windows (even though that bug has a higher bug id). There is also some good progress on resolving this on the other bug.
