Cannot build on Windows 10 about memento

[ripose-jp]

I just set up a new MSys2 build environment and found out that cmake uses make instead of mingw-w64-x86_64-make for some reason.

90% sure just installing make will fix it for you guys.

pacman -S make

Let me know if it does so I can update the guide.

For my own reference, I'm leaving the output of pacman -Qe for this build environment here.

If I remember correctly, this is an annoying bug involving Msys2 having three different versions of cmake.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37365355/cmake-msys-makefiles-generator-missing#38256481

Try replacing lines 25 and 26 in windows_build.sh with

$PREFIX/bin/cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
$PREFIX/bin/cmake --build .

Alternatively, you could uninstall the conflicting cmake package using this command

pacman -Rdd cmake

Also make sure you're running Msys2 64-bit and not the unspecified or 32-bit shortcut.

Thanks for reporting this, if any of what I told you managed to get it to work, please post a comment so I know how to go about updating the README and build script.

i'm having a similar issue
first attempt:

# ./windows-build.sh x86_64
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘build’: File exists
./windows-build.sh: line 25: cmake: command not found
./windows-build.sh: line 26: cmake: command not found
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘Memento_x86_64’: File exists
cp: cannot stat 'src/memento.exe': No such file or directory
./windows-build.sh: line 147: windeployqt: command not found

after replacing the code in lines 25 and 26 like you said

# ./windows-build.sh x86_64
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘build’: File exists
CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "MSYS Makefiles".  CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set.  You probably need to select a different build tool.

when trying to run pacman -Rdd cmake

error: target not found: cmake

[ripose-jp]

Just as a sanity check, you are running the 64-bit MSys2 shortcut and not the unspecified or 32-bit one, right? It should have a reddish orange icon.

Seeing as both of you are having trouble resolving windeployqt, it seems like things installed in C:\msys64\mingw64\bin aren't in your PATH variable. Of course, that doesn't mean you should add that directory to your system PATH because that will probably break more thinks than it solves, but I'm assuming when you run the right MSys2 configuration, it should begin to resolve in /mingw64/bin first as opposed to /bin.

I'll see if I can set up a fresh MSys2 environment when I have some time in the next few days to try and replicate some of what's going on.

[StefanIgnjatovic12]

i was using the third one but in case thats wrong i just tried with the 64 bit one and this is what i got.

old line 25 and 26:

I'm doing all this from memory, so if I'm making some mistakes, my bad. Judging from the output, as long as you're running Msys2 MinGW 64-bit, you shouldn't need to edit the build script.

It's possible that you're missing make and gcc. I probably left them out of the dependencies in the README since I wrote it after I got everything to work. Try installing them with these commands.

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-make
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc

[StefanIgnjatovic12]

still getting the same outputs as in my last post having run those commands unfortunately

[ripose-jp]

Some dependency is probably missing.
Post the output of

pacman -Qe

Here's mine to compare against. Fair warning, some of these packages probably aren't needed to build Memento.

I tried with changing the lines, also with installing

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-make
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc

all of the attemps where made with MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit.

And i'm getting this error (with both versions of the changes in the lines 25+26)

I delete the build folder with each try of running the build script, not sure if that matters.

[StefanIgnjatovic12]

yep that worked for me, it installed now. thanks for the help. just to note, i first tried it with the original line 25 and 26 and it didn't work but after using

$PREFIX/bin/cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
$PREFIX/bin/cmake --build .

it installed.

[ripose-jp]

Everything should be fixed on master now.
Thanks for your help.

[97997]

This

pacman -S make

Did the trick and built.

But for some reason libssp-0.dll was missing when i tried to execute memento.exe, solved it by searching that file in the MSYS2 directory and copypasting it in the executable dir.

[ripose-jp]

Comparing our pacman -Qe results, you're building with newer package versions than me, so it's likely a dependency somewhere started depending on libssp.

The Windows build script is probably never going to be perfect because of things like this, but just copying the .dll does the trick, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue. I usually update the script before new releases to fix things like this.
