#215: unable to build IPOPT with MinGW-w64
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.8.0-win64_rubenvb compiler
-------------------+------------------------
Reporter:  jpye    |      Owner:  ipopt-team
    Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
Priority:  normal  |  Component:  Ipopt
 Version:  3.11    |   Severity:  major
Keywords:          |
-------------------+------------------------
 I am unable to build IPOPT 3.11.3 on a MinGW-w64 build environment as
 described on the following wiki page:
 http://ascend4.org/Setting_up_a_MinGW-w64_build_environment

 I first ran the download scripts for third-party BLAS, LAPACK, METIS and
 MUMPS. Then I ran ./configure --prefix=/mingw.

 Firstly note that config.guess incorrectly identifies the platform as i686
 -pc-mingw32.

 The build fails when configure enters the BLAS directory:

 I suspect that IPOPT is incorrectly parsing this GCC output, because there
 is a stray apostrophe in "-lm'" that is triggering an error in the
 config.log output, attached to this bug.

 I have had no problem building GSL or SUNDIALS with the same build
 environment. Neither of these build/link to fortran code, though, to my
 knowledge.

 I have tried to build also with the tdm-gcc compiler, and I get other,
 different errors relating to missing 'cygpath' and and attempt to run a
 tool called 'lib' which doesn't exist. It looks as though MinGW platform
 detection is somehow broken at the moment, perhaps?

 I tried building 3.10.1 and 3.10.4, but I get the same problems as above
 with the rubenvb builds in that case, still.
