Hello, Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but this is the first time I have worked with Pidgin.
I am experiencing an error when I attempt to build Pidgin 3.0 on Windows with MSYS2. Actually, I am only interested in working with libpurple but it does not seem to be possible to build libpurple as a standalone project. I cloned the Pidgin 3.0 Mercurial repository. However meson.build for Pidgin 3.0 fails with an error message which states that Mercurial is not installed. This cannot be correct: I can clone the talkatu Mercurial repository using MSYS2 Mercurial; Meson builds talkatu as a standalone project; the build products talkatu pass all the tests and the demo program works. The full Pidgin 3.0 meson.build output I see is this: $ meson build The Meson build system Version: 0.58.0 Source dir: C:/msys64/home/david/projects/pidgin Build dir: C:/msys64/home/david/projects/pidgin/build Build type: native build Project name: pidgin Project version: 3.0.0-devel C compiler for the host machine: cc (gcc 10.2.0 "cc (Rev11, Built by MSYS2 project) 10.2.0") C linker for the host machine: cc ld.bfd 2.36.1 Host machine cpu family: x86_64 Host machine cpu: x86_64 Program gettext found: YES (C:\msys64\mingw64\bin/gettext.EXE) Program C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/meson found: YES (C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/meson.exe) Program mkmesonconf.py found: YES (C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/python.exe C:/msys64/home/david/projects/pidgin/mkmesonconf.py) Program xgettext found: YES (C:\msys64\mingw64\bin/xgettext.EXE) Library ws2_32 found: YES Library dnsapi found: YES Has header "sys/wait.h" : NO Has header "unistd.h" : YES Has header "fcntl.h" : YES Has header "stdint.h" : YES Checking for size of "time_t" : 8 Header <ws2tcpip.h> has symbol "socklen_t" : YES Checking whether type "struct sockaddr" has member "sa_len" : NO Library m found: YES Found pkg-config: C:\msys64\mingw64\bin/pkg-config.EXE (0.29.2) Run-time dependency glib-2.0 found: YES 2.68.1 Run-time dependency gio-2.0 found: YES 2.68.1 Run-time dependency gobject-2.0 found: YES 2.68.1 Run-time dependency gthread-2.0 found: YES 2.68.1 Run-time dependency gobject-introspection-1.0 found: YES 1.66.1 Run-time dependency nice found: YES 0.1.18 Run-time dependency gtk+-3.0 found: YES 3.24.29 Found CMake: C:\msys64\mingw64\bin/cmake.EXE (3.20.2) Run-time dependency talkatu found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake) meson.build:273:2: ERROR: Mercurial program not found. -- David May _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
