Compiling on Windows with Msys2

[mtrojnar]

MSYS2 is indeed not supported. I would gladly merge a pull request correcting this issue.

Hello
I made current libp11-master version, that has autoconf and automake patches necessary for mingw, but it is not possible to compile included examples, because mingw does not support termios.h, so my patches may hurt linux builds. You can probably correct it using if !win32 condition, that I used to prevent error shown in previous post. In src\Makefile.am

install-exec-hook:
if !WIN32
    cd '$(DESTDIR)$(enginesdir)' && $(LN_S) -f pkcs11$(SHARED_EXT) libpkcs11$(SHARED_EXT)
endif

But I think that it should be done by someone that knows autoconf better than me.
My version has my "unhack" enabled to allow it to function correctly with curl and openssl s_client.
#122 (comment)
atfork.c was modified like this:

#ifdef __WIN32__
# include <winsock2.h>
#else
# include <sys/socket.h>
#endif

Anyway, you have libp11.dll and pkcs11.dll conveniently compiled in src.libs
It works fine with my libcurl based app and it is all I care about.

IMO the best solution would be to fix examples to be mingw friendly - without terminal I/O interface.

I agree. Please submit a pull request.

#125

IMO the correct solution to this bug is to copy pkcs11.dll (or pkcs11.so) to the engine folder before creating the symbolic link:

install-exec-hook:
    cp -pR -f .libs/pkcs11$(SHARED_EXT) $(DESTDIR)$(enginesdir)/pkcs11$(SHARED_EXT) \
    &&  cd '$(DESTDIR)$(enginesdir)' && $(LN_S) -f pkcs11$(SHARED_EXT) libpkcs11$(SHARED_EXT)
