ScummVM: Compiling error with fribidi v1.0.10 and fribidi v1.0.11

[ctoroman]

Link error when using fribidi v1.0.10 and fribidi v1.0.11

E:/msys64/mingw32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/10.3.0/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: common/libcommon.a(unicode-bidi.o):unicode-bidi.c:(.text+0x156): undefined reference to `_impfribidi_log2vis'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: * [Makefile.common:127: scummvm.exe] Error 1

I'm sorry if off topic

I am using fribidi 1.0.10 myself (and have been for a while) and I don't have that error. There is also no _impfribidi_log2vis symbol in my libcommon.a; there is only one to _fribidi_log2vis`

% nm common/libcommon.a | grep fribidi_log2vis 
                 U _fribidi_log2vis

This is maybe Windows specific? Or maybe a build issue? Did you try to do a make clean clean and full build again?

Just from those paths in the error messages (mingw components rooted in the windows drive and not /) it doesn't look like you're running from within a msys2 terminal, or at least not the way the wiki describes: ​https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Compiling_ScummVM/MinGW-w64

Are you following the wiki instructions for your environment or doing something different?

I'm also not having any problems, and I'm building on Windows with msys2/i686-w64-mingw32. I just upgraded msys2 packages and there was a slightly newer fribidi and that also worked.

sluicebox, yes, i'm following the wiki instructions. But i'm using static libs (not *.dll.a), and I get scummvm.exe without any other files. When using fribidi v1.0.9, the linking is ok.

When using fribidi v1.0.10 and fribidi v1.0.11, i get the error reported above.

I'm using msys and msys2, the error is the same

Libs I build from source. I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong.
