Problems compiling ffi 1.9.0 on cygwin 64bit

[nilsga]

I'm trying to compile ffi on cygwin, but I get a lot of these errors:

./ffi/build/x86_64-cygwin/ffi_c/1.9.3/../../../../ext/ffi_c/Call.c:285:(.text+0x94): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol ffi_call'`

I have tried with latest from master with the same result.

Closing all issues

👍

also why are you closing issues with no explanation?

@svnpenn there was a problem with licensing this project and it was closed and abandoned for few days. Feel free to reopen this issue (probably open new one) if you're facing this problem.

@simi #317 is pretty much the same thing

Had the same problem.
For me the solution was to install the following packages:
libffi6
libffi-devel
cygwin32-libffi
pkg-config
and add the shell variable:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/lib/pkgconfig"
So, I think #317 has the same solution.
