Installation MSYS2
Packages needed
Be very sure to install the packages correct for your architecture. The Guide refers to intel-64bit. Using the same procedure with the respective packages for 32bit failed currently. One package is msys, the other for mingw64
Be sure to work in the correct shell: for the 64bit example, launch and work inside MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit
Essential tools:
msys/make 4.3-1 (base-devel) [installed]
For GCC
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc 9.2.0-2 (mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain)
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc-objc 9.2.0-2 (mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain) [installed]
msys/gcc-libs 9.1.0-2 (base) [installed]
mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-gcc-libs 9.2.0-2 (mingw-w64-i686-toolchain) [installed]
For Clang + libobjc2
TBD
Patches needed
For a successful build, MSYS2 headers need to be patched. Please apply following proposed fix:
Build instructions
Make
Configure as:
./configure --with-layout=gnustep
then, remember, to source the script from the respective MinGW shell version, e.g. the 64 bit is in:
. /mingw64/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
Base
If all dependencies are installed, no difficulties.
./configure
make install
Gui
Essential gui libraries:
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-libjpeg-turbo
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-libtiff
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-libpng
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-giflib
Then installation is as simple as:
./configure
make install
