We should be careful with these, since we don't want Geany or our gtk+ to be msys-dependent. The grep example shows that msys/2 has problems with \ as path separator (not surprising, since it's primary an unix emulation layer), and interpreting /x/path as x:\path won't be nice, except if we ship a "Geany-for-msys-not-win32-native". -- E-gards: Jimmy ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel

This is probably because Geany is compiled by autotools with the Unix like path layout but the installer creates our custom Windows layout and so Geany simply looks at the wrong location. Please have a look at the following macros: PREFIX LIBDIR LOCALEDIR DATADIR Especially PREFIX and DATADIR should be relevant. These are set by Waf quite different on Windows than on Unix environments. Again, this is the decision whether we want to keep the current directory layout or switch to something Unix like. And so, either adjust the installer or the compiled in paths. >>> - the installer geany runs slow because gtk/glib spam a console window >> During installation or when running Geany after installation? >> Did you start Geany with -v from the CLI? >> > > When running, I launched it via the Windows explorer (double click > geany.exe).

Oops, scratch the self-compiled. But we still need to create a

This is what I meant: we probably have to modify how 'make install'
works on Windows to create the files as it is done with Waf.
Or, what is probably easier and cleaner, do this post-install with the
release.py script.
For completeness: this affects not only the *.txt files but also install
locations of the data files and libraries.
At some point we had some discussion whether to use the same directory
on Windows as on Unix but I don't know the result.
While you are working on this, I guess decide yourself :).
I don't mind much as long as we get some kind of migration path for
users with existing installations. Though this should be easy enough by
performing a full uninstall and then install again.
> need to install to a special directory?
The current process (waf install + release.py + makensis) expects the
installation directory as a subdirectory of the source tree, e.g.
c:\git\geany\geany-1.25
where c:\git\geany is the source tree.
But with a bit of adjusting path, any other directory should be possible
as well. Right now, release.py and geany.nsi just use relative paths. If
those are made absolute, it should work as well, I guess.

I'm experimenting at this moment. The gtk/glib/etc package files can be

We cannot use a plain 'make install' on Windows as it is done on Linux,
the Geany wscript has some logic, yes and magic, to do things different

Using msys2 we can use the autotools build system on windows. Therefore
make install works just fine, installs to the dir given by ./configure

I guess since I use autotools Copying.txt isn't created (?). Also, do I
need to install to a special directory?

They are not meant to exist in the repository, at least so far.
It seems I forgot to attach them to the wiki page, done now.

For testing, just comment this out. I still need to document the

I'm experimenting at this moment. The gtk/glib/etc package files can be
found under /var/cache/pacman/pkg/$pkg-$ver.tar.xz. They can be
extracted with tar to a working directory. But what to do afterwards?
The wiki says to move the files under $geanydir/gtk, but how is the
installer file created? The nsis gui is giving me an error:
Error in macro MUI_PAGEDECLARATION_LICENSE on macroline 17
Error in macro MUI_PAGE_LICENSE on macroline 6
Error in script "C:\msys64\home\kugel\geany.git\geany.nsi" on line 87
(geany.nsi:87 reads "!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_LICENSE
"${RESOURCEDIR}\Copying.txt")
The wiki mentions release.py which I cannot find in geany git.
Best regards

It is readily packaged for msys, I think we should be able to use that. Even geany is packaged already, which is great for plugin developers to test on Windows. It's not suitable for end-user distribution though, I'd say, therefore we still want our own installer.

I don't know about pacman, but the 20MB maintenancetool.exe does not look like something that can be used to manage the MSYS2 components. Out of the box, only "Remove all components" works; the "Default repositories" are empty and read-only, and I can't even see a list of the installed MSYS2 components. Not very impressive, compared against mingw-get, which is < 200KB (.exe + guimain.exe). Hopefully, this enables us to eventually remove the Waf build system in the longterm. I'm using waf under Linux as well, since it keeps the source tree clean, and allows compiling only selected plugins without a super-long list of --disable-plugin-s.

I will test/use it soon when I find the time playing with it. Hopefully, this enables us to eventually remove the Waf build system in the longterm.
