Re: [Msys2-users] symlinks vs configure vs gcc

[Ray D. <min...@gm...>]

Here's my start from scratch instructions anyway. I got as far as
having trouble with botan, but it's too late in the evening now.

You can of course have multiple MSYS2/MinGW instances on your machine
without conflicts, so long as you don't run two (different) instances
at once (due to DLL rebasing issues).

Your goal is to build monotone for native Windows 64bit? Here's a
rundown of the steps I tried:

Download and unpack msys2-base-x86_64-20140216.tar.xz, I'm going to do
this to E:\monotone and pretend you did the same just to simplify the
instructions.

Since you want to build Win64 software, you should run
E:\monotone\msys64\mingw64_shell.bat
.. It will create the initial environment.
$ exit
run E:\monotone\msys64\mingw64_shell.bat
$ pacman -Syu
it will update the core system causing DLL address conflicts and we
need to rebase the MSYS dlls.
$ exit
wait for bash to go away (can take 20-30 seconds), then run
E:\monotone\msys64\autorebase.bat then run
E:\monotone\msys64\mingw64_shell.bat
.. install base development tools:
$ pacman -S base-devel tar
$ exit
wait for bash to go away again then run
E:\monotone\msys64\autorebase.bat again then run
E:\monotone\msys64\mingw64_shell.bat again. Since we'll not update any
more MSYS DLLs this should be the last time we need to do this.
.. install monotone dependencies which I guess are:
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-boost
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-gettext mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-libiconv
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-libidn mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-lua
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-pcre mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-pkgconf
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-sqlite3 mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-zlib

.. then we need to build botan. I hoped we had botan already as a
package (I guess you compiled it already?) but it seems not, and my
quick attempt to build it failed:

In file included from build/include/botan/certstor.h:11:0,
                 from src/lib/cert/x509/certstor.cpp:8:
build/include/botan/x509cert.h:228:7: note:
Botan::X509_Certificate::X509_Certificate()
       X509_Certificate() {}
       ^
build/include/botan/x509cert.h:228:7: note:   candidate expects 0
arguments, 1 provided
build/include/botan/x509cert.h:221:7: note:
Botan::X509_Certificate::X509_Certificate(const std::vector<unsigned
char>&)
       X509_Certificate(const std::vector<byte>& in);
       ^

.. if you have any hints on that the please let me know. Of course the
goal for botan (and then monotone) is to make a PKGBUILD recipe, for
example something like
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-libpng/PKGBUILD

Cheers,

Ray.
