I am attempting to build SpatiaLite in Msys2. The build goes well until it attempts to compile the examples. It throws an error because the linker cannot find the dynamic linker (dl) library. Is this something that I should expect msys2/mingw to support? Am I missing a package?
I build spatialite using
./configure && make Here is the compiler/linker output
