make crosstest - a catastrophic saga

[Pedro Araújo]

Hi all,

I've been consistently failing to 'make crosstest'... I've already tried my
distro's repositories, Hans Leidekker's patches, all to no avail. I wish I
could use the test suite, but I need some custom local tests and therefore I
need to be able to build win32 executables. However, I'm stuck getting this:
> security.cross.o: In function

`test_ConvertSecurityDescriptorToString':/home/foo/Wine/dlls/advapi32/tests/security.c:1996:
undefined reference to `_CreateWellKnownSid@16'
> :/home/foo/Wine/dlls/advapi32/tests/security.c:2006: undefined reference

to `_CreateWellKnownSid@16'

or this, if I 'make crosstest -C dlls/gdi32/tests/':

What am I doing wrong?

You need more patches ;) Wine tests are a fast moving target which means
we're nearly always a couple of patches away from being able to cross compile
current git.

An easy way out for this type of error is to use Wine's import lib
instead of MinGW's. E.g. run 'make libadvapi32.a' in dlls/advapi32 and copy
the file over MinGW's version.
