SDL_mixer's playwave.exe linking error with SDL 1.2.15 on mi

among many other software projects SDL_mixer has
problems on mingw with latest SDL

SDL 1.2.14, SDL_mixer 1.2.12, Works fine:

/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc -o build/playwave.exe build/playwave.lo -I/min

problem seems to be a messed up linking order.
other than the SDL version the environment is the same

env is latest official mingw installed via mingw-get

other projects using libsdl and sdl_mixer failing to build in a similar fashion

Looks like the GCC link like is missing "-mconsole". That might get it to work, but if it does, it is still somewhat of a hack.

There was no -mconsole in 1.2.14 either and it worked just fine.
So that cant be the problem.

OK, closer examination of the issue.

The problem is that on Win32 there are two main()'s:

console apps: main()
GUI apps: WinMain()


SDLmain.lib (I believe it is -- src/main/win32/SDL_main_win32.c) contains both. It calls SDL_main(), which is the app's real function. I don't know why mingw is also providing a definition of main() that calls WinMain(). Is "-lmingw32" really needed? It comes before "-lSDLmain", so it would satify a dependency first. Either way, I use MinGW and I certainly don't have to explicitly add any libmingw32.a to the link line...that seems like an interesting artifact of libtool, perhaps.

libmingw32.a has been added automatically by whatever. and it is needed IIRC.
but the linking oder should always be -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL
otherwise you just get the WinMain@16 crap. even the SDL wiki says so.
http://wiki.libsdl.org/moin.cgi/FAQWindows#I_get_.22Undefined_reference_to_.27WinMain.4016.27.22
so i guess something in 1.2.15 has been changed that messes up this order.

SDL_mixer's playwave.exe linking error with SDL 1.2.15 on mi

Doh, I was reading the 1.2.14 command line. Sorry, here's the deal:


libmingw32.a -> provides main(), needs WinMain@16
libSDLmain.a -> provides WinMain@16, needs SDL_main()
yourapp.o -> provides SDL_main()


1.2.14 link line:
gcc -o build/.libs/playwave.exe build/.libs/playwave.o -I/mingw/i nclude/SDL -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -Dmain=SDL_main -mwindows  -L/mingw/lib build/.libs/l ibSDL_mixer.dll.a -lmingw32 -lSDLmain /mingw/lib/libSDL.dll.a -luser32 -lgdi32 - ldxguid -lwinmm /mingw/lib/libvorbisfile.dll.a /mingw/lib/libvorbis.dll.a /mingw /lib/libogg.dll.a  -L/mingw/lib




1.2.15 link line:
gcc -o build/.libs/playwave.exe build/.libs/playwave.o -I/mingw/i nclude/SDL -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -Dmain=SDL_main -mwindows  -L/mingw/lib /mingw/lib/li bSDLmain.a build/.libs/libSDL_mixer.dll.a -lmingw32 /mingw/lib/libSDL.dll.a -lus er32 -lgdi32 -ldxguid -lwinmm /mingw/lib/libvorbisfile.dll.a /mingw/lib/libvorbi s.dll.a /mingw/lib/libogg.dll.a  -L/mingw/lib


It looks like the order got screwed up, though the libtool part looks OK:


/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc -o build/playwave.exe build/playwave.lo -I/min gw/include/SDL -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -Dmain=SDL_main -L/mingw/lib -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows build/libSDL_mixer.la


I guess I'd start looking into the differences between .14 and .15's pkgconfig stuff.

SDL_mixer's playwave.exe linking error with SDL 1.2.15 on mi

Ok whats new is the libSDLmain.la which did not exist in .14 but exists
in .15
But those files look fine.
I get the software to build by modifying libSDL_mixer.la
if i add /mingw/lib/libSDLmain.la to the dependency list there it
compiles fine.
i also removed -lmingw32 from there bcs according to the mingw people
you should never have to manually link against that.
although i dont know if this is the proper way. but it works.

suggestions anyone ?

another funny thing.
if i just move the /lib/mingw/libSDLmain.la away it compiles and links fine.
so works just as if i was using .14
i can use that as a temporary fix now. but i guess that someone more skilled
with libtool/pkgconfig/auto* should look into that.
