Hello again! Due to recent pangocairo changes in mingw-msys2 meld 3-18 become incompatible with it (even running from checkout). So I cherrypicked last changes Keegan Witt made for 3-18 (thanks!) changes to new branch created from current master, fix pangocairo and make some more adjustments: - fixed paths to glib data installation - XDG_DATA_DIR separator - added caching of msys packages in appveyour data to achieve build stability on rolling-release msys2 - remove libwebp (it looks unused?) - unified. renamed mingw64+32 scripts in single msys2 script
The repo with scripts is here - https://gitlab.gnome.org/galkinvv/meld/commits/65f5c2fe1d4564a40fb47247a996eff6417ff74d (meld-installer-build branch) The resulting installer is here: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/galkinvv/meld-ljlj2/build/job/jja76xhc0qxdq461/artifacts This installer installs meld master (3.19-based) and the resulting installation behaviour is identical to meld executed from checkout on msys2: - It mostly works if executed from cmd line with files arguments (works 80% of time, but may crash or hang) - for up-to-date msys2 version meld master has huge problems with selection&comparing files via new tab page, at least on windows 7. So it looks that installation build scripts themselves are mostly correct and this version achieves basic windows compatibility for current master with msys2. The commit history of achieving this compatibility mostly contains trial&error commits. Should the commit history be included in merge request or squashed to single commit describing ideas of most important changes? Note for those reading this message in search of recent meld windows binaries: the installer linked above installs the very unstable combination of meld with recent msys2 (with known interoperability bugs). There exists much more stable 3.18-based installer linked in https://mail.gnome.org/archives/meld-list/2018-April/msg00019.html > Ah. Thanks Vasily!
