error during build about mingw-packages HOT 12 CLOSED

You have to build and install it yourself:

cd mingw-w64-mcfgthread-git
makepkg-mingw
pacman -U *.tar.zst

from mingw-packages.

after applying your commands i have re-compile with your git the gcc
this is the errors i get:

Aborting...

from mingw-packages.

thanks for the offer but i'm looking for a stable releases that are maintained and i can get it for older versions as well.

i'm looking to build the gcc-8.4.0 after i will finish this and not the latest like you have in the links.

i fail to understand how this is working for others and what are the build setups they have that make the compilation work for them and this doesn't work for me..

i wish that someone would have done a clear step by step from a clean enviroment that doesn't have anything to get to a successful compilation ..

i'm very educated on this subject and area but i always amazed that this area is never well documented on how to reproduce these compilation systems..

from mingw-packages.

I have never seen the 'Invalid argument' errors. I suspect there is something wrong with your environment (for example if you build in CMD then Windows commands such as find and sort might interfere with the fragile scripts).

from mingw-packages.

i have installed msys2-x86_64-20200602
i'm running the shell that is located at : "C:\msys64\msys2.exe"

i'm NOT using windows CMD shell.

from mingw-packages.

No idea how such errors happened. It looks like the preprocessor could not open the header file in question (this might happen when building other packages too). Would you please try a fresh re-installation of MSYS2?

from mingw-packages.

sure.

done it now and you can see in the attached PDF every step i have done from installing msys2 until the failure.

Step by step failure of compiling mingw with gcc latest.pdf

i would love to see such report form your side showing every steps and OS from clean environment until successful compilation (if possible)

from mingw-packages.

i have good update on this - in msys2 folder there is a need to edit the "msys2_shell.cmd" before executing it

there is a need to remove the "rem" from "set MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict"

this is the documentation of it:
"rem To activate windows native symlinks uncomment next line"

once done that, it seems to compile.

i'm re-building my report on how to compile this again and will upload it once i will reproduce again all the steps to make sure i haven't left out anything

from mingw-packages.

I never use that script to start MSYS2. mintty.exe suffices. Upon launch it shows you three options so you may choose which shell to launch - msys2, mingw32 or mingw64. msys2.exe, mingw32.exe and mingw64.exe work too.

from mingw-packages.

well you never mentioned what you are running. or anything on your build environment setup...
when i run msys2.exe it got this compilation issues that was mentioned but only when running the cmd file with selected options it worked.

anyway, here is my step by step verified and updated.

too bad none is doing such references on what they run and how.. it's important to see all steps from a clean environment until successful build. you can use it freely at your website as well if you want..

thanks for all the help and support!

who is 'lmhouse'? 😂

I have a Windows machine running Windows 7 Professional and I haven't received any Invalid argument issues so far. There is no tweak to any file. You may want to ask MSYS2 people about details of that option. I know nothing about it.

😂 oops .. fixed and re-upload with typo fix.
