mavericktse / pymingwbuild Goto Github PK

Extracting url with regex hack is dirty. Why don't you use Github API?

import json
from urllib import request, response
j = json.loads(request.urlopen("https://api.github.com/repos/mirror/mingw-w64/tags").read().decode())

final_url = j[1]

# Search latest version except rc
for i, o in enumerate(j):
    if not "rc" in o["name"]:
        final_url = o["tarball_url"]
        break

# Search for preferred version
for i, o in enumerate(j):
    if o["name"] == preferred_version:
        final_url = o["tarball_url"]
        break

The scrypt seems to just ignore command line [options]. I tried to set the gcc version, but thought I must be doing something wrong, so I ended up downloading the version I wanted, put it in the pkgs folder, and changed the name, so the scrypt would skip extracting it. I tried python3 tc-builder.py --skip-gmp --skip-mpfr --skip-isl --skip-mpc , but it configures and builds each one still. It doesn't just say that it's building them, it must be, because of the time it spends on each option. I just wanted to bring it to your attention - someone with a slow cpu, and not very many cores, could spend a lot of unnecessary time on those steps. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Thanks.

Also, why will it not download the latest gcc? it only wants to get 9.3.0, but 10.1.0 is available on the same server.

I guess I should add, that pretty much all the dependencies are outdated.

Downloaded from HTTP {'gmp': './pkgs/gmp-6.1.0', 'isl': './pkgs/isl-0.18', 'mingw-w64': './pkgs/mingw-w64-7.0.0', 'pkgconf': './pkgs/pkgconf-1.6.3', 'gcc': './pkgs/gcc-9.3.0', 'mpc': './pkgs/mpc-1.0.3', 'binutils': './pkgs/binutils-2.34', 'mpfr': './pkgs/mpfr', 'cloog': './pkgs/cloog-0.18.1'}

gmp-6.2.0, isl-0.21, gcc-10.1.0, mpc-1.1.0 are more recent versions, they had to be downloaded and put in pkgs folder to trick the scrypt.
