| ## Description I am experiencing a linking error when building a Go application with the confluent-kafka-go package on Windows 11, using MSYS2 GCC. The error occurs during the linking phase, indicating unresolved references to __imp__vsnprintf_s and _setjmp. $ go build main.go # command-line-arguments C:\Program Files\Go\pkg\tool\windows_amd64\link.exe: running gcc failed: exit status 1 C:/msys64/ucrt64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/13.2.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: C:/Users/Thadeu/go/pkg/mod/github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/[email protected]/kafka/librdkafka_vendor/librdkafka_windows.a(rdkafka_error.c.obj):(.text+0x8e): undefined reference to __imp__vsnprintf_s' C:/msys64/ucrt64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/13.2.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: C:/Users/Thadeu/go/pkg/mod/github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/[email protected]/kafka/librdkafka_vendor/librdkafka_windows.a(rdkafka_mock.c.obj):(.text+0x8e): undefined reference to __imp__vsnprintf_s' C:/msys64/ucrt64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/13.2.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: C:/Users/Thadeu/go/pkg/mod/github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/[email protected]/kafka/librdkafka_vendor/librdkafka_windows.a(rdkafka_txnmgr.c.obj):(.text+0xca): undefined reference to __imp__vsnprintf_s' C:/msys64/ucrt64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/13.2.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: C:/Users/Thadeu/go/pkg/mod/github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/[email protected]/kafka/librdkafka_vendor/librdkafka_windows.a(rdkafka_idempotence.c.obj):(.text+0x8e): undefined reference to __imp__vsnprintf_s' C:/msys64/ucrt64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/13.2.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: C:/Users/Thadeu/go/pkg/mod/github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/[email protected]/kafka/librdkafka_vendor/librdkafka_windows.a(rdkafka_aux.c.obj):(.text+0x8e): undefined reference to __imp__vsnprintf_s' C:/msys64/ucrt64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/13.2.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: C:/Users/Thadeu/go/pkg/mod/github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/[email protected]/kafka/librdkafka_vendor/librdkafka_windows.a(rdkafka_admin.c.obj):(.text+0x8e): more undefined references to __imp__vsnprintf_s' follow C:/msys64/ucrt64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/13.2.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: C:/Users/Thadeu/go/pkg/mod/github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/[email protected]/kafka/librdkafka_vendor/librdkafka_windows.a(regexp.c.obj):(.text+0x29fe): undefined reference to `_setjmp' collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status ## How to reproduce Set up a Go environment on Windows 11 64-bit. Install MSYS2 GCC. Set "CGO_ENABLED": "1" Try building a Go application that imports confluent-kafka-go. ## Environment: OS: Windows 11 64-bit Golang version: 1.21.5 GCC version: 13.2.0 Confluent Kafka Go Package version: v2.3.0 ## What I've Tried: Updating GCC to the latest version through MSYS2. MSYS2 Guide Reinstalling confluent-kafka-go package with go get -u. Despite these efforts, the issue persists. I've ensured that CGO_ENABLED is set to 1 and that the C compiler is correctly included in the PATH. Question: Has anyone encountered a similar issue or can provide insights into resolving these linker errors? Any suggestions on additional steps or alternative configurations that might work for this setup? |
