instructions for building on Windows

Hi all,

does anyone know the instructions for building vm (pharo.cog.spur) on Windows (10) from scratch?

I followed the appveyor of both https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm and https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm ,

for Pharo I also needed cygwin packages wget, and unzip
for both I also needed cygwin packages libintl8, and mingw64-i686-glib2.0

however now I am stuck on building cairo; I've tried installing both libcairo-devel and libcairo2, but to no effect.

it fails on the following:

configure: error: pkg-config >= required but not found (http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/)
make: *** [../third-party/Makefile.cairo:32: /cygdrive/d/prog/windows-pharo-vm/opensmalltalk-vm/.thirdparty-cache/windows/i386/bin/libcairo-2.dll] Error 1

I am compiling it with ./mvm -f -- CC=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc

Thanks!

Re: instructions for building on Windows

Hi Peter,

pkgconfig is built by mvm script among the 3rd party dependencies (it's the 1st one).
- though I'm not sure it's necessary now that we use cygwin, it was necessary on mingw minimalism oblige -

-- CC=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc option is not needed because it is already part of ../common/Make* rules

Appveyor builds are green... But note that appveyor builds are statefull (they have a cache and not entirely built from scratch!), so a regression might get unnoticed. See those lines in https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/blob/Cog/.appveyor.yml

cache:

- .thirdparty-cache

Do you try building from a cygwin32 or cygwin64?

I'm trying now in a win7 VM (that should not make too much a difference from cygwin POV)...

But it will take hours to complete from scratch (justifying the cache)...

Re: instructions for building on Windows

The build did proceed successfully on my configuration (cygwin32)...

Could it be an extra package rather than a missing package that prevented success (like the configure & co found the wrong pkg-config)?

Re: instructions for building on Windows

Hi Nicolas,

have you tried building it on a fresh new cygwin?

I am on 64bit windows, but I am trying to build 32bit VM. (and so I am using 32bit cygwin)

1. I've cloned opensmalltalk-vm
2. ran scripts/updateSCCSVersions (from w10 native bash)
2. downloaded setup-x86.exe
3. ran a small init script (for variables):

```
@echo "environment:"

@REM all mirrors: https://cygwin.com/mirrors.html
@REM US mirror (for appveyor)
@REM set CYG_MIRROR="http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com"
@REM EU mirror
set CYG_MIRROR=http://ftp.inf.tu-dresden.de/software/windows/cygwin32/
set FLAVOR=pharo.cog.spur
set platform=x86
set ARCH=win32x86
set SRC_ARCH=i386
set CYG_ROOT=C:\cygwin
set CYG_SETUP=setup-x86.exe
set MINGW_ARCH="i686"

@echo "init:"
set PATH=%CYG_ROOT%\bin;C:\Ruby23\bin;%PATH%
```

4. installed dependencies
https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/blob/Cog/.appveyor.yml#L71
%CYG_SETUP% -dgnqNO -R "%CYG_ROOT%" -s "%CYG_MIRROR%" -l "%CYG_ROOT%\var\cache\setup" -P mingw64-%MINGW_ARCH%-gcc-core,mingw64-%MINGW_ARCH%-gcc-g++,mingw64-%MINGW_ARCH%-headers,mingw64-%MINGW_ARCH%-runtime,zip,mingw64-%MINGW_ARCH%-clang,libiconv-devel,libglib2.0-devel,perl,mingw64-%MINGW_ARCH%-zlib,cmake,mingw64-%MINGW_ARCH%-win-iconv

4. switched to (cygwin's) bash
5. exported the following variables
export FLAVOR=pharo.cog.spur
export ARCH=win32x86
export MINGW_ARCH=i686
export APPVEYOR=1

6. ran ./.travis_build.sh
6.a. it complains about missing line 16: x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc: command not found , but I am building 32bit so it should be fine
7. the build commences but immediately fails because I don't have make

8. I install make
%CYG_SETUP% -dgnqNO -R "%CYG_ROOT%" -s "%CYG_MIRROR%" -l "%CYG_ROOT%\var\cache\setup" -P make

9. rerun the build
10. fail on missing wget
11. install wget
%CYG_SETUP% -dgnqNO -R "%CYG_ROOT%" -s "%CYG_MIRROR%" -l "%CYG_ROOT%\var\cache\setup" -P wget
12. rerun
13. fail on "configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH"

now I could explicitly specify the CC=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc as I've done yesterday, and then eventually fail on missing glib,intl (which I would install), and then fail on cairo (which I didn't resolve), but considering you said that specifying CC is not needed, then I've clearly missed a step somewhere.

Thanks,
Peter

Re: instructions for building on Windows

Hi Peter,

if you want to reproduce appveyor build to the letter, then you need same level of pre-installed tools

I don't know where is maintained the official and current configuration, but I found this
http://help.appveyor.com/discussions/suggestions/427-pre-install-cygwin

That would be first:

setup-x86.exe -qnNdO -R C:/cygwin -s http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com -l C:/cygwin/var/cache/setup -P autoconf -P automake -P bison -P gcc-core -P gcc-g++ -P mingw-runtime -P mingw-binutils -P mingw-gcc-core -P mingw-gcc-g++ -P mingw-pthreads -P mingw-w32api -P libtool -P make -P python -P gettext-devel -P gettext -P intltool -P libiconv -P pkg-config -P git -P wget -P curl

I don't have time yet to try a complete reinstall, but if you can come up with a completely scripted and reproducible solution, it's more than welcome!

Best

Re: instructions for building on Windows

Hi,

installing all those appveyor packages indeeded helped, thanks!

Regarding
> > > > -- CC=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc option is not needed because it is already
> > part

this seems like there is bad configuration somewhere, because only installing those generic `mingw-gcc-*` packages resolved that issue. I don't really have much experience with autotools so I didn't dig deep into that.

Regarding complete instructions, I wrote couple of scripts for pharo-vm, so I guess some of it could be taken for opensmalltalk-vm (In pharo-vm I do some extra things).

The entire commit is here https://github.com/peteruhnak/pharo-vm/commit/ccbbc48b27bca2fd534c2745723f4e137e9b62aa or the scripts here https://github.com/peteruhnak/pharo-vm/tree/windows-build/scripts/windows
and readme https://github.com/peteruhnak/pharo-vm/blob/windows-build/README-Win32.md

Thanks!

Peter
