Somewhere between change set  http://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/rev/076acecb9c21   and changeset http://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/rev/21586f2d1fe7, Qt in the native build started failing in its build.

 

 

Do you have an error log about why libmng is not compiled? (assuming it is actually not compiled, but the error above seems to go in that direction). In those 2 changesets, the only change that could be suspicious is the addition of CC='$(MXE_CC)' to zlib.mk, though I don't see at the moment how it could affect a native MinGW build.

 

Michael.

 

So it is changeset http://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/rev/d89eccc2edd3  that causes it to fail.

 

There are 2 changes to zlib in that change set, the first being the removal of CC=MXE_CC. the second being that it doesn’t install the static libraries unless selected to do so.

 

I tried removing the CC part, so am guessing libmng is using the static zlib for some reason.
