Link error when using MATHEMATICAL_USE_SYSTEM_LASEM in Cygwin

[jjulianoatnv]

Hi, I've encountered an error when trying to build mathematical on cygwin while using MATHEMATICAL_USE_SYSTEM_LASEM. The linker complains about undefined references to symbol names with the pattern lsm_dom_*.

In the build log (see below), the link command does not contain -llasem. It looks like extconf.rb is supposed to add -llasem to the makefile, but that's failing to happen in my environment.
I do not understand how to fix that problem.

$ grep -R llasem .
./ext/mathematical/extconf.rb:  $LIBS << ' -llasem'
./ext/mathematical/extconf.rb:    $LIBS << ' -llasem'
./ext/mathematical/lasem/lasem.pc.in:Libs: -L${libdir} -llasem-@LASEM_API_VERSION@

$ grep -R lasem ext/mathematical/Makefile
CPPFLAGS =  -I/home/jeff/.gem/ruby/2.3.0/gems/mathematical-1.6.9/ext/mathematical/mtex2MML/src -I/home/jeff/.gem/ruby/2.3.0/gems/mathematical-1.6.9/ext/mathematical/lasem/src  $(DEFS) $(cppflags)
ORIG_SRCS = cairo_callbacks.c lasem_overrides.c mathematical.c
OBJS = cairo_callbacks.o lasem_overrides.o mathematical.o
HDRS = $(srcdir)/cairo_callbacks.h $(srcdir)/lasem_overrides.h $(srcdir)/mathematical.h

extconf.rb contains this:

if !using_system_lasem?
[...]
else
  if dir_config('lasem').any? || system('dpkg -s liblasem >/dev/null')
    $LIBS << ' -llasem'
  else
    # NOTE: pkg_config implicitly adds right -l argument for the linker.
    pkg_config('liblasem') || pkg_config('lasem')
  end
end

FWIW, I'm following the instructions for setting up the build of a project that uses asciidoctor-mathematical, and this is failing while building mathematical. The instructions I'm following are the cygwin section of this: https://gitlab.khronos.org/vulkan/vulkan/blob/1.0/doc/specs/vulkan/README.adoc

I have installed these cygwin packages using cygwin's setup-x86_64.exe:

• liblasem0.4-devel
• liblasem0.4_4

And I have created a symbolic link named liblasem.dll.a as recommended in the above-referenced README.adoc.

$ find /usr/lib -iname '*lasem*'
/usr/lib/liblasem-0.4.dll.a
/usr/lib/liblasem.dll.a
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/lasem-0.4.pc

Here are relevant excerpts from the build log:

$ MATHEMATICAL_USE_SYSTEM_LASEM=1 gem install asciidoctor-mathematical

Any updates on this? I'm having the exact same issue.
