Miniupnpc on Windows

Question

Does anyone know how to link against miniupnpc (https://github.com/miniupnp/miniupnp/tree/master/miniupnpc) on Windows 10? I am using bazel 5.0. I am using msys2 and the mingw-gcc compiler. I am linking against the static form using -DMINIUPNP_STATICLIB. I compiled it by typing make install. I also tried mingw32make.bat but the fails with a different error. I get the following error when linking.

Answer 1

You need to run the following commands

cmake . 
make
./mingw32make.bat

Then you need to use the libminiupnc.dll.a
