This pull request improves the build compatibility with GCC on Windows in the MSYS2 UCRT environment. By rewriting each CMake compiler check, we are able to perform the same workarounds applied for MSVC to MinGW GCC instead. As a result, the CMake build completes normally with no workarounds.

Basic manual functionality checks show that the SoftHSM DLL works as expected with pkcs11-provider on OpenSSL.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Build Support
    • Windows builds now select platform-specific components and libraries based on the operating system, including when using non-MSVC compilers.
    • Windows test builds now apply the static-library setting through a compiler definition.
    • Non-Windows builds continue to use their existing platform-specific configuration, while Windows-specific settings are no longer selected solely because of the compiler in use. This provides more consistent platform configuration across supported build environments.

Walkthrough

CMake now uses WIN32 to select Windows-specific build inputs across executable, library, and test configurations. The Botan warning suppressions now apply only when Botan is enabled and the compiler is MSVC.

Changes: Windows Build Configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Select Windows inputs for executables
src/bin/keyconv/CMakeLists.txt, src/bin/migrate/CMakeLists.txt, src/bin/util/CMakeLists.txt
These configurations use WIN32 to select Windows include directories, getopt.cpp, and, for keyconv, Windows libraries.
Select Windows inputs for libraries
src/lib/CMakeLists.txt, src/lib/common/CMakeLists.txt, src/lib/crypto/CMakeLists.txt, src/lib/data_mgr/CMakeLists.txt, src/lib/handle_mgr/CMakeLists.txt, src/lib/object_store/CMakeLists.txt, src/lib/session_mgr/CMakeLists.txt, src/lib/slot_mgr/CMakeLists.txt
These configurations use WIN32 to select Windows-specific sources, include directories, and libraries. Botan warning suppressions now require both WITH_BOTAN and the MSVC compiler.
Select Windows test inputs
src/lib/test/CMakeLists.txt
The test configuration selects Windows test sources when WIN32 is true and sets CRYPTOKI_STATIC as a target compile definition.

Minor · Guard the Botan /wd options for MSVC. · CMakeLists.txt:168-176

src/lib/crypto/CMakeLists.txt:168-176
📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Guard the Botan /wd options for MSVC.

src/lib/crypto/CMakeLists.txt appends /wd4250;/wd4251;/wd4275;/wd4127;/wd4273 whenever WITH_BOTAN is set, with no compiler check. These are MSVC warning-control flags. GCC and MinGW do not recognize them, so the Botan warnings they target stay unmuted. The rest of the file already limits MSVC-only options with CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "MSVC". Apply the same check here.

Major · Use MinGW-compatible library names for keyconv. · CMakeLists.txt:24

src/bin/keyconv/CMakeLists.txt:24
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use MinGW-compatible library names for keyconv.

On MinGW, the WIN32 branch passes Ws2_32.lib and Crypt32.lib to keyconv. MSYS2 UCRT provides libws2_32.a and libcrypt32.a, which GNU linking resolves from ws2_32 and crypt32. The current names can make the keyconv link fail.

Use MinGW-compatible library names in the softhsm2 link configuration.

On the WIN32 path, STATIC_FILES passes Ws2_32.lib and Crypt32.lib to the softhsm2 shared-library link. MinGW GCC searches for libws2_32.a and libcrypt32.a, so this target cannot link in MSYS2 UCRT.
