in thread gmake error on Glib compile

I think it's just that:
"C:\STRAWB~1\perl\site\lib\auto\Glib\Glib.a" "C:\STRAWB~1\perl\site\lib\auto\Cairo\Cairo.a"
is missing. Add that at the beginning of the EXTRALIBS and the LDLOADLIBS entries in the generated Makefile, and then re-run gmake test.
(It's probably important that there's a space between "...auto\Cairo\Cairo.a" and "C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\libcairo-gobject.a"...)

If that doesn't work, start from scratch again:
run gmake realclean
run perl Makefile.PL
insert the missing entries into the beginning EXTRALIBS and LDLOADLIBS.
run gmake test

If you still get undefined references, just list them out for us.
UPDATE: Oh ... and just check that the 2 files "C:\STRAWB~1\perl\site\lib\auto\Glib\Glib.a" and "C:\STRAWB~1\perl\site\lib\auto\Cairo\Cairo.a" do exist.

Cheers,
Rob

    Hi Rob. Thanks I put those in but had to do glib.xs.dll but that worked.

    I got to Gtk3 but it needed Glib-Object-Introspection. This just gives me the 4 lines below which are undefined reference

    C:/Strawberry/c/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.3.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: GObjectIntrospection.o:GObjectIntrospection.c:(.text+0x26d2): undefined reference to `__imp_g_module_open'

    C:/Strawberry/c/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.3.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: GObjectIntrospection.o:GObjectIntrospection.c:(.text+0x26e6): undefined reference to `__imp_g_module_symbol'

    C:/Strawberry/c/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.3.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: GObjectIntrospection.o:GObjectIntrospection.c:(.text+0x2702): undefined reference to `__imp_g_module_close'

    C:/Strawberry/c/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.3.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: GObjectIntrospection.o:GObjectIntrospection.c:(.text+0x27b5): undefined reference to `__imp_g_module_close'

    Its getting there

    Thanks Mike

      I think they're resolved by MSYS2's libgmodule-2.0.dll.a. So you'll need to do the rename dance for that (and for libffi.dll.a, if you haven't already).
      If that still gives you trouble, I'll probably need to see the EXTRALIBS entry in the Makefile.

      UPDATE: Note that gmake test should just spit out a message that the test script was not run because the test script was not built (for each of the test scripts).

      Cheers,
      Rob

        Thank you so much it was the libgmodule-2.0.dll.a I had already done the libffi.a as that one was clear

        Its all installed even the Gtk3 module

        My initial test from an old glade project fired up perfectly

        Thanks again. Mike
