App Request : TDM-GCC about versions

[Lunchb0ne]

Yeah, It's perfect, thanks for the hard work @tech189!

[rashil2000]

Hey @tech189, would you like to take this one too?

No hurries though, just asking for help in clearing some backlog :)

[rashil2000]

Okay. So in a pre_install step, we will have to extract all files in the $PLUGINSDIR directory that end with .tar.xz and .tar.lzma, into the root directory:

Example: https://github.com/chawyehsu/dorado/blob/master/bucket/nuwen-mingw-gcc.json

See also https://github.com/mapleafgo/scoop-bucket/blob/master/bucket/tdm-gcc.json . I'm not suggesting using this, but just pointing it out for reference.

See also https://github.com/rivy/scoop-bucket/blob/master/[email protected] . Same caveat.

[rashil2000]

Yup, we don't need it, since we'll already be having an env_add_path in the manifest

[tech189]

This is certainly a tricky one! I got checkver working, which I hope covers the non-standard versioning they use. As for the installation, it looks like there's a ton of compressed files that get extracted and then their bins which are registered, plus some start menu shortcuts, see the installation log below.

Manifest so far:

Edit:
Also found a manual installation instruction list here https://github.com/jmeubank/tdm-distrib/blob/master/tdm64/core/README-gcc-tdm64.md#manual-installation

[tech189]

Thanks for your help guys, I'm almost there, just trying to recreate a shortcut that the installer does in the last step. It creates a shortcut that has the target of %comspec% /k ""C:\TDM-GCC-64\mingwvars.bat"" but scoop needs an exe/bat that is located in the installation dir so I can't specify cmd.exe in the shortcut like so:

"shortcuts": [
        [
            "cmd.exe",
            "MinGW Command Prompt",
            "/k \"$dir\\mingwvars.bat\""
        ]
    ],

I tried just putting the bat file as the shortcut but for some reason it opens and immediately exits. If I double click the bat file it doesn't open either, it only works when I run cmd.exe /k "C:\Users\me\scoop\apps\tdm-gcc\current\mingwvars.bat" from a cmd line. Any ideas?

[rashil2000]

What does the bat file contain? I think it only contains a command to add TDM GCC's bin directory to PATH. This is why it immediately exits.

So we might not need it.

[tech189]

I think that's exactly what it contains:

@echo.
@echo Setting up environment for using MinGW with GCC from %~dp0.
@set PATH=%~dp0bin;%PATH%

[tech189]

I submitted the PR. It would be great if @Lunchb0ne or someone else who uses GCC could test the bins and PATH, as I do not work with it myself.
