Re: [GNC-dev] running setup-mingw64.ps1

[pjlbyrne]

Hmm I tried it but it seems more broken than that:

patb@DESKTOP-REQM4CB MSYS ~
$ pacman -Syuu

patb@DESKTOP-REQM4CB MSYS ~
$ which pacman
/usr/bin/pacman

patb@DESKTOP-REQM4CB MSYS ~
$ file /usr/bin/pacman
/usr/bin/pacman: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64 (stripped to external
PDB), for MS Windows

patb@DESKTOP-REQM4CB MSYS ~
$ pacman -hl


It's weird, some things (the built-ins?) seem to work, and others do nowt.
'env' works, 'vim' does nothing.

There don't seem to be obvious dependencies missing. This looks OK:
patb@DESKTOP-REQM4CB MSYS ~
$ ldd /usr/bin/pacman
ntdll.dll => /c/Windows/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll (0x7ffca293)
KERNEL32.DLL => /c/Windows/System32/KERNEL32.DLL (0x7ffc9fea)
KERNELBASE.dll => /c/Windows/System32/KERNELBASE.dll
(0x7ffc9f50)
msys-2.0.dll => /usr/bin/msys-2.0.dll (0x18004)
bcrypt.dll => /c/Windows/SYSTEM32/bcrypt.dll (0x7ffc9e7e)

I tried re-running the powershell script, but it doesn't think it has
anything to do.

Perhaps recent Windows 10 updates have brought to quarantine the pacman
executable, or something weird like that. 

I guess I will have another play-around & try and see what's going on later.
Thanks again for the advice, David.

Cheers
Patrick

First, open an MSYS2 shell, for this it doesn’t matter which one. In it run
  pacman -Syuu
If it tells you to quit the shell do so by clicking the red X in the window’s 
title bar, not by exiting bash.

Next, go back to Powershell and run setup-mingw64.ps1 again. jhbuild isn’t 
going to work until that completes without errors.

jhbuild is a bit odd all the way around. The documentation is at 
https://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/stable/ 
 and there’s some more information 
at https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/Jhbuild 
.

“buildrc” is not a jhbuild command, you want “build”.

John Ralls

Re: [GNC-dev] running setup-mingw64.ps1

[pjlbyrne]

Hi again,

I tried this at home and did not get the above errors.

I did however get problems on install, and problems after install.

The install problems are that some package installs appear to fail eg:
(57/97) installing texinfo
  1 [main] pacman 4232 fork: child -1 - forked process 9808 died
unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code 0xC139, errno 11

This happened for:
texinfo
libidn2
wget
perl-libwww
perl-Convert-BinHex

Then I see:
Next we'll install the HTML Help Workshop includes and libraries into our
MinGW directory.
/usr/bin/bash: /mingw64/bin/gendef: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/bash: /mingw64/bin/dlltool: No such file or directory

After install, in mingw64, this does nothing:
patb@DESKTOP-REQM4CB MINGW64 /c/gcdev64
$ jhbuild -f src/gnucash-on-windows.git/jhbuildrc buildrc

Indeed, just typing 'jhbuild' or 'jhbuild --help' does nothing, which seems
very odd to me.

Can someone please advise?
Thanks
Patrick

pacman finished, but then I get:

and lots more 'Invalid crypto engine' messages. Then lots of
'blahblah.pk.tar.xz' is invalid, do you want to delete it?' messages, and
now its downloading again - doesn't look very promising!

I opened one of the tar.xz files in 7-Zip and it opens OK, so not sure what
is going on here.

Adding:

http_proxy = http://1.2.3.4:5/
ftp_proxy = http://1.2.3.4:5/


to C:\gcdev64\msys2\etc\wgetrc, where 1.2.3.4:5 is the proxy IP address &
port at my workplace (no it's not really that) makes pacman work with the
office proxy.

I also uncommented (in etc/pacman.conf):
XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u

according to instructions here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29783065/msys2-pacman-cant-update-packages-through-corporate-firewall

pacman is now working

This variable is defined in the script:

html_help_workshop_installer = "htmlhelp.exe"

But in the call to install-package:

... -setup_cmd $html_help_installer

Changing the second line to refer to 'html_help_workshop_installer' makes it
run the HTML help installer.

The script should install Html Help Workshop, but in order to do so it needs 
the user to respond to the authorization window; same for Inno Setup. If you 
run the script unattended then the auth window times out and the programs don’t 
get installed.

OTOH if you’re monitoring the script and authorizing the installations then 
something else is going wrong. There should be some output on the powershelgl 
window indicating what it is.

$html_help_workshop_url = 
"http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/a/9/0a939ef6-e31c-430f-a3df-dfae7960d564/htmlhelp.exe;
$html_help_workshop_installer = "htmlhelp.exe"
$installed_hh = get-item -path "hkcu:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTML Help Workshop"
| foreach-object{$_.GetValue("InstallDir")}

-

so the problem appears to be that the registry entries are not found,
because the HTML Help Workshop is not installed. I suppose I could manually
install the workshop so the registry entries are available, but that seems
to defeat the point of the exercise! (to script the installation of the
program). Can someone please advise on how this might be fixed?

Cheers
Patrick
