Attempt to compile latest trunk (r35721) result in the following errors:

linking shared-library msvcrt-ruby200.dll

dln.o: In function `rb_w32_check_imported':

Build was done with GCC 4.6.3 (mingw-w64) under Windows 7 x64. Base Ruby was 1.9.3-p194

The top output from make was:

I'm running git-bisect right now, but things were fine at r35648

I believe this is caused by static-link-ext, so I'm assigning to Nobu

After git bisect was done, I can confirm that r35709 (SHA1 0e60b2c6a3c5152fc4ff06054a4ae79edadf9276) introduced the breakage:

commit 0e60b2c6a3c5152fc4ff06054a4ae79edadf9276

static-linked-ext: into libruby

• Makefile.in, common.mk (PROGRAM): no extension libraries.
• common.mk (build-ext): pass macros for libruby.so.
• ext/extmk.rb (command_output): link extension libraries and encoding
  libraries into libruby.so, not ruby executable.

=end

=begin

The issue seems to be caused by the override of SOLIBS when --enable-shared is used to build Ruby:

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/ext/extmk.rb#L665-668

By doing that, system libraries defined by LIBS (which later are used as SOLIBS) like ws2_32, shell32 and others are gone.

• Status changed from Assigned to Closed
• % Done changed from 0 to 100

This issue was solved with changeset r35722.
Luis, thank you for reporting this issue.
Your contribution to Ruby is greatly appreciated.
May Ruby be with you.

Bug #6462: EXTSOLIBS

• Makefile.in (LIBRUBY_SO): link EXTSOLIBS too.
• ext/extmk.rb (mf.macro): use EXTSOLIBS instead of SOLIBS to get rid
  of discard libraries needed by default. [Bug #6462]
