mingw+libarchive: cross compiling linker error
I'm trying to cross compile a tiny program under Linux for win32. It uses libarchive, which is available in for mingw on my fedora 23 installation (all installed through dnf), but I get lots of linker errors.

make: *** [build/win32/save_the_zazus.exe] Error 1
For this single source file program I just wrote a simple Makefile. The png files aren't in the repo (yet), so just create empty files for them if you try to compile. I tried dynamic and static linking (would prefer static so all I need to do is to pass on a .exe file). For this output I used -static -larchive and it doesn't complain about any missing libraries, but I get all those undefined references.
Add -static -larchive to the end of your command line and try again. The linker isn't getting the library to link against. I've found it needs to be last on the command line.
