While I was developing my game on Linux (I'm using an ARM system), I decided that I want to cross-compile it to Windows. Yet, I get an error while I try to link Allegro (version 4.2) to the compiler.

I have installed MinGW32 (x86_64-w64-mingw32-c++ in the terminal) and have moved the bin / include / lib folders from the Windows Allegro version to the /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32-c++/ folder.

When I enter into the command line:

x86_64-w64-mingw32-c++ *.cpp -o W_Survival `allegro-config --libs`

It returned to me a linking error:

/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld: unrecognized option '-z'     
/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld: use the --help option for usage  information    
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The compiling is all the same as I would do it using g++. the only thing different is that I have it set to compile for windows.

Is there anything that I did wrong? All help is appreciated :)

  • \$\begingroup\$ did you correctly link against a 64-bit mingw version of the allegro libs? \$\endgroup\$

You need to make sure you link against the correct version of your dependencies: In this case, the 64-Bit MinGW ones.
