Alex313031 created an issue (geany/geany#4511) Hello, I maintain a fork of Geany called Geany-ng > https://github.com/Alex313031/geany-ng
I noticed that builds since October of last year stopped working on Windows Vista7/8. At first, I thought it was Geany itself, but behold https://github.com/Alex313031/geany-ng/releases/tag/2.2.0-2 New 2.2.0 that runs fine on older Windows. The culprit? MSYS2 itself. I narrowed down the exact version where it breaks (through alot of testing). Using this MSYS2 (and not updating any packages) https://github.com/msys2/msys2-installer/releases/tag/2024-07-27 works. However, the build right after https://github.com/msys2/msys2-installer/releases/tag/2024-11-16 and all newer builds fail since. Building using older MSYS2 works. Anyway, I found that the previous Windows builds maintainer @eht16 actually encountered this same error while debugging another problem here: https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/4088#issuecomment-2567003963, thinking that his Win7 system was too old to run it. I used gdb, and traced it down to libgio/libglib > https://packages.msys2.org/packages/mingw-w64-x86_64-glib2 IDK how to debug further than that, IDK how to really use dgb lol. One could potentially look through the changes of libglib between 2024-07-27 and 2024-11-16. I'm looking for help here, or maybe I should report this to glib? -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/4511 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
