MINGW-packages: [SDL2_mixer] SDL2_mixer-static target fails to link
Description / Steps to reproduce the issue
I have these packages installed: mingw-w64-i686-toolchain mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-SDL2 mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-SDL2_mixer mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-SDL2_net mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-libiconv mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-freetype mingw-w64-i686-nsis mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-cmake make.
I use cmake find_package to find SDL2_mixer as follows:
find_package(SDL2_mixer REQUIRED CONFIG REQUIRED COMPONENTS SDL2_mixer-static)
Target properties are set up as follows (stripped down to SDL2_mixer-static relevant parts for clarity. Link time optimization is not used. Optimizations are disabled at -O0 level.):
target_include_directories(${APPLICATION} PRIVATE
SDL2::SDL2main SDL2::SDL2-static SDL2_net::SDL2_net-static SDL2_mixer::SDL2_mixer-static
)
set_target_properties(${APPLICATION} PROPERTIES
LINK_FLAGS "-m32 -static")
target_link_libraries(${APPLICATION} PRIVATE SDL2::SDL2main SDL2::SDL2-static SDL2_net::SDL2_net-static SDL2_mixer::SDL2_mixer-static)
GCC linker throws following errors (many more similar for libopusfile.a (opusfile.o). Path prefix is stripped for clarity:
../lib\libmpg123.a(compat.o):(.text+0x6f): undefined reference to `_imp__PathIsRelativeW@4'
../lib\libmpg123.a(compat.o):(.text+0x1b6): undefined reference to `_imp__PathIsUNCW@4'
../lib\libmpg123.a(compat.o):(.text+0x5a9): undefined reference to `_imp__PathCombineW@12'
../lib\libopusfile.a(opusfile.o):(.text+0x378): undefined reference to `ogg_sync_pageseek'
../lib\libopusfile.a(opusfile.o):(.text+0x3fa): undefined reference to `ogg_sync_buffer'
../lib\libopusfile.a(opusfile.o):(.text+0x41b): undefined reference to `ogg_sync_wrote'
It seems to me that when pacman installs SDL2_mixer and its dependencies, their static library versions are not compatible, they are pre-built with different feature sets.
Could someone confirm my assumption?
Without rebuilding SDL2_mixer from source code, is there a way to statically link it using the msys2 package’s built in CMAKE find package target?
Expected behavior
Expectation is that installing mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-SDL2_mixer, and implicitly the dependencies to the package, should allow users to compile and link the SDL2_mixer::SDL2_mixer-static target.
Actual behavior
The SDL2_mixer::SDL2_mixer-static target pulls in static library dependencies that do not export symbols that SDL2_mixer default pre-built configuration expects from them.

I think the errors will be the same. The shared and static flac library are not 100% compatible.
It seems that the target_link_libraries in CMake file does not get all the required libraries for static linking. The following command works for static linking.
Using FindPkgConfig module may help in cmake.
The linklibs.rsp file contents are:
The list does not contain
oggnorshlwapi. Adding them after the-Wl,--undefined=part resolved most missing dependencies. Additionally -lopus was needed by opusfile.So working response file was:
