Now, a recent upgrade on MSYS2 has broken this.

The script you mention is for preparing the Emacs binaries that we offer on the GNU FTP site, it is not the officially recommended way of building Emacs for your own use. AFAIR, we use -static to avoid the dependency on pthreads or something. Maybe that problem no longer exists? And I'm not sure I understand why MSYS2 no longer provides a static library for GMP, maybe ask them to reconsider? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
