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

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”.

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

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
