I tried cross compiling fontconfig for windows but it fails with this error:CC fc-cache.o CCLD fc-cache.exe ../src/.libs/libfontconfig.a(fccfg.o):fccfg.c:(.text+0x5282): undefined reference to `readlink'
readlink() is a POSIX function for reading symbolic links (i.e. obtaining the filename that a link is linking to). It isn't part of MS CRT, nor does MinGW provide it (last time i checked), although with improved Vista-and-later symlink support it is now actually possible to implement this function on Windows. A stop-gap measure that might be adequate in some circumstances is to simply obtain file information for the file in question (specifically, obtain its name), relying on the fact that W32 API and/or CRT will resolve the symlink (which is the documented behaviour in most cases) and give you the name of the target file, thus acting as a poor man's readlink().
Also, is there a way to avoid using libuuid?
Why? Last time i checked, libuuid was part of the Windows SDK that MinGW provides. Why would there be need to avoid using it?
