为Mingw构建libnoise

Question

I am currently trying to install the libnoise library for mingw via a .a file. I've tried several things but I am not really that much experienced with makefiles. I've ran through the included makefile and at the end it throws a "Undefined reference to 'WinMain@16'"

The .lib file does indeed work, but is there any way to compile my program through a .a library? I would be glad if someone would show me how to actually make a .a myself since I have no experience and I can't find where to start.

Answer 1

I found exactly what to do on libnoise while it came to my mind today.

1) install libnoise on github from https://github.com/eXpl0it3r/libnoise

2) run cmake with entries CMAKE_C_COMPILER:STRING=gcc CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:STRING=g++ (easiest to do with cmake GUI)

it is recommended to generate into another folder, perhaps create a new one.I created one in a new one called libnoise-master/lib

3) inside that, run

make

if make doesn't work you might a) not have set up the PATH variable or b) inside your MinGW/bin you can't find make, but mingw32-make. Either rename it to make or use mingw32-make instead of make

after all of that you will generate a .a file if you havent chosen a shared library on step 2 or a .dll if you did
