From afdff8008149515afebf9992eae84be7d76e6b1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luca Barbato Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2015 18:51:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] configure: Clearly state that MSYS native builds are discouraged MSYS, as per cygwin, by default uses a custom posix abstraction in the form of a "msys2.dll". Programs build that way are harder to distribute and use. MSYS2 provides alternate launcher scripts that provide a MINGW environment nearly out of box. --- configure | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/configure b/configure index f5a9a2690f..6640f2f6db 100755 --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -3647,6 +3647,9 @@ case $target_os in enabled_any pic shared || { check_cflags -mdynamic-no-pic && add_asflags -mdynamic-no-pic; } ;; + msys*) + die "Native MSYS builds are discouraged, please use the MINGW environment."; + ;; mingw32*) if test $target_os = "mingw32ce"; then disable network
