Request for v0.7.0 Windows DLLs about lurch

[EionRobb]

Can you try with
lurch.zip

[Hub-O-Gits]

Much appreciated. Will test.

Btw, should we be using newer GnuPG libs? Your last releases were as follows:

• libgcrypt-20.dll v1.8.4, while the latest version of the 1.8 LTS branch is now at v1.8.7, and apparently includes a security fix for CVE-2019-13627 at v1.8.5. (See the "tags" section on its git summary page.) There's also a new 1.9 branch, which is currently at v1.9.2. (See source repo.) They're both considered stable branches, so I'm not sure why they started another one, but it appears to be performance related.

• libgpg-error-0.dll v1.36, while the latest is now v1.41. (See source repo.)

I believe the older gcrypt dlls were needed for telegram plugin compatibility, at some point in time, but since that's been deprecated in favour of the tdlib plugin, maybe worth reconsidering :)

I'd love to statically compile gcrypt into the plugin to make installation easier, so maybe the CVE's would help prod that along

[EionRobb]

So I've updated the dll's at https://eion.robbmob.com/lurch/ to the latest versions for now until I can get my ducks in a row for static compiles

thanks a lot, @EionRobb!
i managed to automatically build carbons on some ci, and all the dependencies of this one prevented me from just copying that solution over. i hope someday soon i can stop burdening you with this 🙂 (also for this one i should probably just use github actions...)

statically compiling a more up to date grcypt into it sounds like a good idea, if you manage to figure it out maybe i can incorporate it when i finally get around to it.

@Hub-O-Gits if you could confirm that it works for you i will add the dll to the github release and close this issue.

[EionRobb]

@gkdr not a burden at all. happy to help try set up some CI with you if you want?

[gkdr]

@EionRobb thanks, that would be a great help! are you familiar with github actions already? just compiling the whole thing and running the tests is probably a good start. i realized that for the final cross-compilation step, i first need to create cross-compilation targets in the submodules. that could also be easy enough.

[gkdr]

@Hub-O-Gits any luck testing it? 🙂

Lurch 0.7 build not working for me- don't really want to open a separate issue for it as I could've made an oversight, and this thread does pertain to that build:
"(09:21:55) plugins: C:\Users\Adam\AppData\Roaming\.purple\plugins\lurch-0.7.0.dll is not usable because the 'purple_init_plugin' symbol could not be found. Does the plugin call the PURPLE_INIT_PLUGIN() macro?" when I run the debug log at startup.

I tried the lurch.dll at root as well (same version), but then also tried this as a sanity check. This is running with the tdlib installed gcrypt and gpg-error so I assume everything's fine here. Was there a compile oversight, or is it failing silently and has a dependency I'm not meeting? 0.6.7 works as normal.

Latest Pidgin as of today, Windows 10 Pro x64.

[EionRobb]

Yeah, I'm an idiot. The 0.7.0 dll didn't include half the libpurple lib... amazing that it compiled at all!

lurch.zip is 0.7.0 with all the .c code in there. I even went as far as testing it this time gasp

Have updated the files on https://eion.robbmob.com/lurch/ too. Sorry about that :(

[instinctualjealousy]

Thanks for the fix. It's no big deal, mistakes happen. Shocked it compiled like that though. Anyway, if it wasn't me, someone else would've caught it!

lurch 0.7 still not working for me on windows

@ecxod your debug log is showing that it is loading and unrelated to this thread. Just keep your issue in #172 :)

thanks for fixing lurch :)) This topic can be closed now as we habe the dll.

[gkdr]

glad it works for you now, @ecxod!

i'm reading this as: the new dll works. i still had the old file on the releases page, so i updated it there. and i think i can finally close this issue 🙂
