Error while building Linphone for windows

Question

I am trying to build linphone for windows by following the instructions in Readme.mingw using MinGw/Msys. There is no issues till the download of belle-sip package.

When I run ./autogen.sh I am getting the below error.

Generating buildipts in belle-sip...

Can anyone point out where I went wrong and give the steps for successful build?

Any help is appreciated.

Solution

Given this specific part of the error output:

Can't locate Automake/Config.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /mingw/share/automake-1. 11 ....

It looks that the /mingw path does not exist, which means it should be added as an alias to c:\mingw in the fstab file.

See the MinGW Installation Notes for a step-by-step howto.

Just renaming c:\MinGW\msys\1.0\etc\fstab.sample to c:\MinGW\msys\1.0\etc\fstab did the trick for me. That file already had a line c:/mingw /mingw.
