Hi all , I was trying to build gtk3 branch of morevnaproject but i get a warning which says

[code] CCLD wand/libMagickWand-6.Q16.la

\*\*\* Warning: This system can not link to static lib archive magick/libMagickCore-6.Q16.la.  
\*\*\* I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when  
\*\*\* you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a  
\*\*\* shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have.

\*\*\* Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -lgomp.  
\*\*\* I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when  
\*\*\* you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a  
\*\*\* shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have  
\*\*\* because I did check the linker path looking for a file starting  
\*\*\* with libgomp and none of the candidates passed a file format test  
\*\*\* using a file magic. Last file checked: /usr/x86\_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libgdi32.a  
\*\*\* The inter-library dependencies that have been dropped here will be  
\*\*\* automatically added whenever a program is linked with this library  
\*\*\* or is declared to -dlopen it.

\*\*\* Since this library must not contain undefined symbols,  
\*\*\* because either the platform does not support them or  
\*\*\* it was explicitly requested with -no-undefined,  
\*\*\* libtool will only create a static version of it.

After which i get a lot of undefined references and makefile error which finally stops the script .  
I 've tried building Imagemagick 6.8.7-10 and 6.8.8-10 both of which give same errors . I have removed “–disable static” from the config setting and ran the script synfig-mingw-build.sh but I still get the same error . The config has shared enabled .  
Please help . Thanks .
