[GNC-dev] How to specify args to setup-mingw64.ps1
Ignoring for the moment the fact that John Ralls says the Windows 64 bit build is currently broken because the latest MSYS2 updates require a new webkit build and he hasn't yet done the 64-bit one. How would I specify a non default target_dir and a 64-bit build? I tried many things but had to resort to editing the script to plug the values I want in the CmdLetBinding section. For example: .\setup-mingw64.ps1 -target_dir "e:\Data\GnuCash\gcdev64" -download_dir "e:\Data\GnuCash\gcdev64\downloads" -x86_64 "$true" fails with "Failed to install MSys2, aborting." because $bash_path = True\\usr\\bin\\bash.exe I added after line 76: $bash_path = "$msys2_root\\usr\\bin\\bash.exe" write-host "target_dir=$target_dir" write-host "download_dir=$download_dir" write-host "msys2_root=$msys2_root" write-host "x86_64=$x86_64" write-host "preferred_mirror=$preferred_mirror" .\setup-mingw64.ps1 -target_dir "e:\Data\GnuCash\gcdev64" -download_dir "e:\Data\GnuCash\gcdev64\downloads" -x86_64 "$true" target_dir=e:\Data\GnuCash\gcdev64 download_dir=e:\Data\GnuCash\gcdev64\downloads msys2_root=True ??? x86_64=True preferred_mirror=http://repo.msys2.org .\setup-mingw64.ps1 -target_dir "e:\Data\GnuCash\gcdev64" -x86_64 "$true" target_dir=e:\Data\GnuCash\gcdev64 download_dir=True ??? msys2_root=e:\Data\GnuCash\gcdev64\\msys2 x86_64=True preferred_mirror=http://repo.msys2.org Regards, Chris Good ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
