MinGW build/compile failure with Ruby 2.5.5, but 2.6.2 & trunk ok

Description

As many of you may recall, I'm not a c type, especially regarding build errors. Recently tried to build 2.5.5 locally, and I get errors similar to the below. I do not have any errors using the same build code (ruby-loco) when building 2.6.2 or trunk.

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated... Thanks, Greg

Attached larger log with config info.

PRI_LL_PREFIX should be defined in config.h by configure.ac.

$ grep '#define PRI_LL_PREFIX' .ext/include/x64-mingw32/ruby/config.h 
#define PRI_LL_PREFIX "I64"

@nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)

Thanks for the reply. Stupid on my part, I overlooked the changes re gnu_printf in configure.ac, and it's compiling fine.

I found the patch for it looking in an old copy of ruby-loco (using 'makepkg'). Back when Appveyor MinGW testing was added here, most of the 'build' patches needed for MinGW were also added.

All the patches currently used in ruby-loco are just for testing (ruby-loco tests from install). IOW, I totally forgot about build patches being needed.

Sorry & thanks, Greg

As to commits, see:

r64620 - Declare as gnu_printf on mingw
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/c115b39e033979bac7cfd2db5735549430dc14f7

and

r64630 - use mingw ANSI stdio
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/1cf2bb4b2085758112503e7da7414d1ef52d4f48

Obviously, they'd need to be modified for 2.5 & 2.4, but since both are active branches, a backport would be helpful.

Ok to close...
