GeoIP C API build and patching error - patch

Question

I have been trying to build the api in (windows 7 64bit) with msys2 using x86_64-w64-mingw32 but i keep geting errors
note that this errors wont happen when i use 32bit nmake but i need to build it in 64bit using msys2 and x86_64-w64-mingw32
Please help me fix my errors.
This log is from the build:

Answer 1

With the help of few ppl (adrien, alexey, LRN) in irc://irc.oftc.net/#mingw-w64 i managed to fix the problems
And also i noticed that the patching wasn't needed
So here i am going say what you got to do so you can build it in msys2 using x86_64-w64-mingw32
Edit geoip-api-c-1.6.3/Makefile.am and add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4
Edit geoip-api-c-1.6.3/configure.ac and add AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS([m4])
Edit geoip-api-c-1.6.3/libGeoIP/Makefile.am and add pread.c to libGeoIP_la_SOURCES
Once you added pread.c there you remove it from EXTRA_DIST
Run autoreconf -fiv or ./bootstrap
export "CFLAGS=-O2" export "CPPFLAGS=-DGEOIP_EXPORTS" export "LIBS=-lwsock32 -lws2_32"
or you can try export "CFLAGS=-DGEOIP_EXPORTS -O3 -I/usr/local/include" export "LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib -lwsock32 -lws2_32"
./configure --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 && make
With that i managed to build it just fine :)
