libcdr build failing

[Ede123]

I just tried to build libcdr 0.1.2 on the "MSYS2 MSYS" shell using makepkg-mingw -sL

However the build consistently fails without obvious error.
Possible issue: I tried executing the command to link cdr2raw.exe manually. There's no error output but also no executable created!

I'm successfully build libcdr-0.1.3 today without issues.

This log is incomplete and missing the error. Upload full log (you can add .txt and drag and drop into github comment).

[Ede123]

Well here's the full log:
mingw-w64-libcdr-0.1.2-2-x86_64-build.txt
I can't find anything more relevant in there, though...

[Ede123]

Good news:
libcdr 0.1.3 in fact builds fine on my system (without any change).

Seems I should have gone for the update right away (that's why I wanted to build it). As it was my first package build with MSYS2 though, I wanted to start with something "tested" first.

[Ede123]

Bad news:
Same thing now seems to be happening when building libvisio-1.5.0 (fails to link vsd2raw.exe)

[Alexpux]

Maybe you first need rebuild some dependencies of libvisio.

[Ede123]

I'll try (only new dependency compared to libcdr is libxml2).

Strange thing is that it works just fine if I compile it inside a "MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit" shell

I have to use makepkg, though. When using makepkg-mingw the build will still fail.

Could it be that something goes wrong when setting up the environment?

[Alexpux]

makepkg is only for building MSYS2 packages.
For MINGW packages you must use makepkg-mingw. If you build both architectures then use makepkg-mingw from MSYS2 shell, not MINGW one

[Ede123]

OK, sorry, I assumed makepkg executed from a mingw64 shell would be equivalent with executing makepkg-mingw from an MSYS shell with MINGW_INSTALLS=mingw64 set.

Now I looked what makepkg-mingw is doing internally, and executed makepkg_mingw64.conf on a mingw64 shell. I then executed the exact ./configure command specified in my PKGBUILD file and ran make. Again, it worked!

[Ede123]

Oh hell, this was a tough one...

I finally found the source of the problem: msys2/MSYS2-packages#454
Renaming the default-manifest.o allowed me to compile without issues.

Seems I wasn't too stupid after all... (even though you almost made it sound like it 😉 )
