I can't static lingking FreeImage 3.15.4 on MingW (either using .lib nor .a). I always receive error "undefined reference to" all FreeImage method. While I successfully dynamic linking the library.
Then I try build from the source, it's the same.
I also try using 3.15.3, both static and dynamic is success. But there's a bug in those version (opening some JPEG).
Need help with this.
My code only 1 file, purge.cpp
#define FREEIMAGE_LIB
#include "FreeImage.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
void FreeImageErrorHandler(FREE_IMAGE_FORMAT fif, const char *message) {
std::cerr << "FIError: " << message << std::endl;
}
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
#ifdef FREEIMAGE_LIB
FreeImage_Initialise();
#endif
FreeImage_SetOutputMessage(FreeImageErrorHandler);
std::string fnameIn (argv[1]);
std::string fnameOut (argv[2]);
std::vector<uint8_t> data;
std::ifstream ifs;
ifs.open(fnameIn.c_str(), std::ios::binary);
uint8_t c = ifs.get();
while (ifs.good()) {
data.push_back(c);
c = ifs.get();
}
ifs.close();
FIMEMORY *hmem = FreeImage_OpenMemory(&data[0], data.size());
FREE_IMAGE_FORMAT fif = FreeImage_GetFileTypeFromMemory(hmem, 0);
FIBITMAP *dib = FreeImage_LoadFromMemory(fif, hmem, 0);
int flag = JPEG_BASELINE | JPEG_QUALITYGOOD | JPEG_SUBSAMPLING_420 | JPEG_PROGRESSIVE | JPEG_OPTIMIZE;
bool b = FreeImage_Save(FIF_JPEG, dib, fnameOut.c_str(), flag);
std::cout << ((b)?"Save\n":"NoSave\n");
FreeImage_Unload(dib);
FreeImage_CloseMemory(hmem);
#ifdef FREEIMAGE_LIB
FreeImage_DeInitialise();
#endif
return 0;
}
Command:
g++ -o purge purge.cpp -L. -lfreeimage

Then when I remove "#define FREEIMAGE_LIB", it's success. But with dynamic linking :(
Solved.
After reading README.minGW carefully. The mistake I made is: I create *.a with 'pexports' & 'dlltool'. While those *.a file is for dynamic link. The *.a file for static link should compile from the source with setting "FREEIMAGE_LIBRARY_TYPE=STATIC". Don't forget to edit "makefile", since the OS has been hard-coded to "gnu".
