Unable to static link libstdc++ for win32

[squaresugar]

Hi,

Thanks to jb's guide (http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYSNew), I've been able to build vlc-1.1.11 *nearly* perfect.

The only issue I have so far is the libqt4_plugin.dll does not link staticly with libgcc and libstdc++, since I can see libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll and
libstdc++-6.dll are loaded in the process explorer. This makes me unable to launch the qt interface when I use the built installer to install to a machine without libgcc and libstdc++ dlls.

Does it have to do with the latest TDM gcc 4.6.1 I am using instead of the one 4.5.2 mentioned in the guide?
I am not seeing the libstdc++.la at /mingw/lib/gcc/mingw32/4.6.1/ either.
Can this be the problem in linking?
I've also tried with LDFLAGS options -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++, which appears to take no effect!
any hint on this?
Thanks a lot!

Use TDM-gcc sljl, not dw2

This is pretty weird.
I am sure using the TDM-gcc sljl, as I used the TDM installer and selected the component for sljl instead of the dw2.

Renaming /mingw/lib/gcc/mingw32/4.6.1/libstdc++.dll.a to something else fixes the problem for me! guess that forces linking to the libstdc++.a. I don't know what happens to the compiler settings leading to this problem though.

anyway, after two days frustration, it's finally been solved!

Dear all,

I'm experiencing the same problem when compiling using TDM 4.6.1 (sljl).
Solved using squaresugar trick.

Thank you.
