Can confirm. After updating mingw-w64-environment to version 1-4, a clean build compiles & links successfully, even with mingw-w64-clang-git installed. Thanks @patlefort for mentioning it over at mingw-w64-environment!

mingw-w64-environment has been updated to default to gcc so it should be fine now.

When I build in a clean chroot, it fails with this:

../configure: line 8630: syntax error near unexpected token newline' ../configure: line 8630:AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG('

adding autoconf-archive to makedepends fixes this.

@grandchild: I'm not sure but I think there should be a global way to specify which compiler to use and not let packages choose like that, unless said package really need a specific compiler. Right now the only way is to manually define CC and CXX and use makepkg. It can't be configured in makepkg.conf. Until then yes, a little sed on that configure script could fix that.

@patlefort, @pingplug: So this package should be fixed to use gcc unconditionally, no? I don't think that (temporarily) uninstalling mingw-w64-clang should be the solution here.

I figured out my problem: I had mingw-w64-clang-git installed and the configure script of this package is detecting clang first, so it was compiling with clang. Compiling with gcc work fine.

Compiling fails with a ton of undefined references like:

/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-ld: brkeng.o:brkeng.cpp:(.text+0x195): undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_sj0'

...

I get this error when trying to install:

cant find it on any of the keyservers

Oh, then you're right and the package is broken. The DLL name must definitely match what's referenced by the import library.

@Martchus, the rename gives the dll the correct name that it should have. If you examine the dll.a file, you will notice it references a dll name which is not "lib"-prefixed.
