Are you building 64-bit binaries on a 32-bit Windows system perhaps? Then it is a cross-compiler. This distinction doesn't matter though, as it is most likely a bug in gnulib's getopt or mingw64 (or the self-test...). Btw, you should be able to safely use your libidn build anyway, if all the other checks passed (use 'make check -k'). Gnulib self-tests a lot of things that most applications (including libidn) doesn't use. I just realized that I do have a Win64 system, but it is my primary laptop and I typically never use Windows so rebooting it is a bit cumbersome, but at least I will be able to debug this further if you aren't successful. /Simon _______________________________________________ Help-libidn mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-libidn
