(Using elementaryOS/Ubuntu)
I'm cross-compiling x265 and I encouraged annoying problem. For some reason cmake doesn't want to accept -static-libstdc++, because ld is apparently unable to find it. Cmake is built from Source Code, working pretty well without -static-libstdc++, if I then copy libstdc++-6.dll from mingw-w64 libs to folder with x265.exe, it works well, but I want it to build with it. mingw was built with this script and contains these libraries, but I don't know where is ld looking for them.
Here is output of cmake attempt:

Any ideas how to make -static-libstdc++ work? I tried linking it in many folders, but I couldn't find out where is ld looking for it.
I managed to solve this. Source of my confusion was the fact that you can use -static-libgcc, so I thought even -static-libstdc++ should work. The problem was that there indeed were libraries, but not the .a files for libstdc++. These can be disabled using this parameter when using the script. Then both -static-lib options work well.
bash ./mingw-w64-build-3.6.7 --disable-shared
