Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] New to mingw-cross-env: compilation error with undefined reference to `_XML_ParserCreate'

The problem is caused by the linking order, the compiled objects are after the LDFLAGS, so, I tried to put my original LDFLAGS to LDADD, so that the linking flags are after the objects.
