[Msys2-users] CMake Problem

[Alexander S. <har...@gm...>]

Hey,

Currently there is a problem with CMake, at least in
"msys2-base-x86_64-20140216.tar.xz". When I've installed
"mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake 2.8.12.2-2", it turned out that some
dependencies are not present for CMake to run. Heuristically I've found
that the following libraries are missing:

liblzma-5.dll
libp11-kit-0.dll
libexpat-1.dll
libhogweed-2-5.dll
libnettle-4-7.dll

Of course these libraries are expected to be in "${MSYS2}/mingw64/bin",
and, as a result, their respective packages should be:

mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-liblzma
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-libp11-kit
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-libexpat
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-libhogweed
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-libnettle

However, currently there are no such packages. So this would be the first
thing to fix. Secondly, since packages for these libraries are present in
MSYS2, I was still able to install them, but in "${MSYS2}/bin", i.e.:

msys-lzma-5.dll
msys-p11-kit-0.dll
msys-expat-1.dll
msys-hogweed-2.dll
msys-nettle-4.dll

To test whether CMake would still work, I copied them to
"${MSYS2}/mingw64/bin" renaming them according to required names (see
above). However, when I execute:

cmake --version

CMake outputs:

cmake version 2.8.12.2

but then CMake does not terminate, it rather hangs forever after this
output. So this would be second issue to investigate.

Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks for your efforts guys, a few years
ago I could only dream about enjoying "pacman" on Windows!

Alexander
