I think Harry had a similar problem, and from what I remember I concluded
that the mingw64- scripts which Opensuse shipped were trying to be too
clever for their own good.
What they do is they force ALL builds to ALWAYS build for mingw64 - which
is not what we want. For reasons I won't discuss now, cross building
PSPP first requires a native build. The mingw64-configure/make stuff
messes this up.
I presume you have executed the script Windows/build-dependencies?
I suggest you build the way the build-dependencies script recommends,
by passing the --host= and other arguments.

Hi John,
I try to get the CI/CD chain back to live. I tried to build the windows cross build on opensuse by using the the latest source package from Ben which is 1.5.3-g8d023f. Inside the source tree I created a build directory „fritz“. From there I started "mingw64-configure“ and then „mingw64-make“. The configure stage was successfull but the make ended with
libtool: link: /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-ranlib .libs/libgl.a
libtool: link: ( cd ".libs" && rm -f "
libgl.la" && ln -s "../

Do you maybe have an example how to do the windows cross build?
