Hello operezm,

It looks like the linker-loader in gcc, is not finding the library libleveldb.a  So even though you built it, did gcc see a line like
-L"$(CURDIR)/leveldb" \ where $(CURDIR) is correct at the moment of linking?  I just took that line from nitrogenetics message #1 here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0
in this forum, in the section Additional notes for Bitcoin 0.8.6

You get points for not being on drive c Grin

Haha, that my post, so thanks for the points.

It is impossible that gcc is not able to find the library, because I explicitly linked it in the specs file.

I'm not following OP's instructions to the letter because they are confusing and lack detail (I do admire the initiative, but I'm not going to run any command or install every program just because someone on the internet says so). There are also some errors in the post (you do not need to install perl for example, because it comes already with every MSYS or Git install).

I also wonder why he is talking about a makefile.mingw and how to patch it, because I can't find it.

All help is appreciated.

Jori.
