#msys — Public Fediverse posts

@argv_minus_one You know... `autoconf` was for times, when we have several #Unix systems in the field, each significantly different from each other, especially in terms of `libc` support. Today we have 3, with one having two flavours - `musl` and `glibc`; third one from #Apple is not usually that strongly supported.

Then keep in mind `autoconf` was practically non-existent on #Windows (and no, #Cygwin and #msys don't count).

I've been checking out how projects like #Busybox-w32, #msys and #GNUWin32 handle links in their utility programs like ln & ls. The comparison is very interesting. I really like Busybox-w32's use of hard links and how they show up with ls -i. They've done a wonderful job getting Busybox working on Windows. I'm investigating if Busybox-w32 can be used in place of msys when building #FLOSS #C projects with #mingw.

I build a lot of #FLOSS #C programs from source. I've been looking into replacing #msys on #Windows with #busybox-w32 ash and some alternatives to core utilities. I've been wanting to get rid of msys for a while and use natively built utilities that don't require Cygwin style DLLs. There are projects like #gnuwin32 and #GOW. Anyone else interested in this sort of thing?

Another useful #writing tool I almost forget to mention is wc. You'll find it on #Linux and #BSD distros. On Windows, #msys and #cygwin offer a version. There are several implementations of wc out there including versions in Busybox and Toybox. If you want to build it yourself or modify it, sbase has a straight forward version:

Smacked head-first into a stupid issue with the #libcurl package deployed by #MinGW / #MSYS / #MinGW64 - turns out that if you copy the DLLs out of the MinGW environment (you know, like if you want to actually *deploy* an application that uses them), libcurl suddenly starts freaking out about "SSL CA cert" problems.

Someone on StackOverflow noticed there's an alternate "mingw-w64-x86_64-curl-winssl" package that doesn't seem to suffer from this issue (which I confirmed). What a damned mess!

How good is #msys these days? The occasional times I have to use #windows for #nextest are so frustrating. cmd sucks, git bash is too basic for me.

The version of #yaml-cpp currently shipped by #MSYS for #MinGW64 has a bug that prevents exporting a symbol to the shipped DLL. It's not MSYS' fault, because yaml-cpp hasn't put out an updated formal release since 10 months before fixing this: https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/issues/1026#issuecomment-1122305522

Trying to get #OpenXcom to build in #MSYS #MinGW64 using #CMake and #vscode, and of course it's a dumpster fire. *sigh*

It builds but barfs up a massive series of linker errors at the end, even though I already found and fixed one CMakeLists.txt issue. Whee!
