XMake - Build System #6169

kassane · 2020-02-06T15:42:23Z

Would it be possible to join this build system in the package?
XMAKE_PKBUILD-ARCH

Biswa96 · 2020-02-08T09:39:53Z

Is there any guideline about how to build xmake in Windows?

new install script, install to ~/.local and add sh profile (recommended)

https://xmake.io/#/guide/installation?id=installation

make build
./scripts/get.sh __local__ __install_only__

old install script, install to /usr

https://github.com/Homebrew/linuxbrew-core/blob/041241d3008cb5a0a7f2b651628c85d6b1e37a28/Formula/xmake.rb

make build
./install installdir

I'm not sure it support using mingw/make to build xmake on windows. Maybe we need modify some makefiles and code files to support it.

Now we can only use xmake to build xmake or use nsis installation package to install it directly.

You can open a issue in xmake/issues if compile errors on msys/mingw. I will attempt to support it.

waruqi · 2020-02-09T08:41:32Z

I will add core/plat/mingw in these days.

waruqi · 2020-02-11T11:58:32Z

I have improved xmake to compile it on mingw/msys. It has been compiled successfully on msys/mingw for xmake/dev branch.

compile and install xmake:

make build
make install prefix=/usr

You can try it again. however, there are still some problems during operation, such as process execution. e.g.

$ xmake l os.exec "echo hello"
      1 [main] xmake 1887 dofork: child -1 - forked process 4512 died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code 0xC0000135, errno 11
error: exec(echo hello) failed(-1)!

I attempt to run cmd /c "c:\msys64\usr\bin\dash.exe /usr/bin/rebaseall -v" command, it seems to have no effect.

StarWolf3000 · 2020-02-12T06:46:05Z

@waruqi Hold your horses. What is your build environment? From your last message it seems you're building under MSYS2, but in your opening comment you asked as package under MINGW. Do not mix them up.

The prefix for make install should be /mingw32|64, not /usr.

I have tested both the msys and mingw environments.

@Biswa96

I have supported compiling xmake on msys/mingw and it worked very well. But we must use mingw-w64-[i686|x86_64]-gcc to compile xmake (dev branch).

$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
$ which gcc
/mingw64/bin/gcc
$ cd xmake
$ make build
$ make install prefix=/usr

run xmake to compile program:

ruki@DESKTOP-A6MFTOV MINGW64 /tmp
$ xmake create test
create test ...
  [+]: src\main.cpp
  [+]: xmake.lua
  [+]: .gitignore
create ok!
$ cd test
$ xmake
checking for the architecture ... x86_64
[  0%]: compiling.release src\main.cpp
[100%]: linking.release test.exe

Currently it is not supported to compile it with msys /gcc, because the generated xmake still has some running problems during the running process.

And I alse improved the PKGBUILD, you can see
https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake/blob/dev/scripts/PKGBUILD

StarWolf3000 · 2020-02-16T04:43:06Z

@waruqi Like I said, do not mixup MSYS2 and MINGW.

This line is wrong:
$ make install prefix=/usr

Should be:
$ make install prefix=/mingw64 and $ make install prefix=/mingw32

MINGW binaries should NEVER go into /usr/bin and MSYS2 binaries should NEVER go into /mingw32|64/bin.

Got it, thanks! @StarWolf3000

$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
$ which gcc
/mingw64/bin/gcc
$ cd xmake
$ make build
$ make install prefix=/mingw64

Or

$ pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-gcc
$ which gcc
/mingw32/bin/gcc
$ cd xmake
$ make build
$ make install prefix=/mingw32

Biswa96 · 2020-02-16T05:35:37Z

The linked PKGBUILD does not work in mingw-w64-x86_64 but the dev branch complied successfully.

waruqi · 2020-02-16T05:40:05Z

The linked PKGBUILD does not work in mingw-w64-x86_64 but the dev branch complied successfully.

I haven’t published a new release version, the 2.2.9 version in PKGBUILD cannot be compiled. I only update PKGBUILD to use make install instead of package() {} scripts.

waruqi · 2020-02-23T14:11:54Z

@Biswa96 I have published the release version (v2.3.1) and support mingw.

Biswa96 · 2020-02-23T15:15:36Z

Here is the link https://github.com/Biswa96/MINGW-packages/blob/add_xmake/mingw-w64-xmake/PKGBUILD

StarWolf3000 · 2020-02-23T15:40:15Z

@Biswa96 Did you use makepkg or makepkg-mingw to run?

Biswa96 · 2020-02-23T16:02:52Z

Both shows the error.

waruqi · 2020-02-23T16:12:38Z

Here is the link https://github.com/Biswa96/MINGW-packages/blob/add_xmake/mingw-w64-xmake/PKGBUILD

I will look at it later.

waruqi · 2020-02-24T02:26:47Z

I have created a test PKGBUILD file. But it shows some error in package step. Here is the output:

==> Starting package()...
installing to /c/MyFiles/xmake/pkg/mingw-w64-x86_64-xmake ...
plat: msys
arch: x86_64
cp: cannot create regular file '/c/MyFiles/xmake/pkg/mingw-w64-x86_64-xmake/bin/xmake.exe': No such file or directory
make: *** [makefile:109: install] Error 1

@Biswa96 It was because the pkg/bin directory was not created during running make install.

I have fixed this problem in the dev branch. But in the current version, you can temporarily modify PKGBUILD to solve this problem.

package() {
    cd "$srcdir"
    mkdir "${pkgdir}/bin" .  <--  ensure to create bin directory
    make install prefix="${pkgdir}"
}

Biswa96 · 2020-02-24T05:30:55Z

Some issues:

The /bin/xmake file contains absolute path including the folder in which the package is built.
Where is the executable after running make install?
Why does make build automatically delete compiled object files? Shouldn't those be deleted with make clean command?

waruqi · 2020-02-24T07:59:30Z

The /bin/xmake file contains absolute path including the folder in which the package is built.

This is indeed a problem, I need to improve make install.

Where is the executable after running make install?

/mingw64/bin/xmake.exe

Why does make build automatically delete compiled object files? Shouldn't those be deleted with make clean command?

It is just a legacy problem. xmake/core/makefile currently does not support uses depfile to incrementally compile, so make clean will be executed before make build.

core/makefile

build:
	@echo compiling xmake-core ...
	@if [ -f core/.config.mak ]; then rm core/.config.mak; fi
	@$(MAKE) -C core --no-print-directory f DEBUG=$(debug)
	@$(MAKE) -C core --no-print-directory c             <--------------- clean first
	@$(MAKE) -C core --no-print-directory

waruqi · 2020-02-24T10:41:56Z

@Biswa96 I have updated xmake-v2.3.1.tar.gz and imrpove make install script.

You can update PKGBUILD and try it again.

make install DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" generates export XMAKE_PROGRAM_DIR=/usr/local/share/xmake.
At least, make install DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" prefix="${MINGW_PREFIX}" creates correct path i.e. /mingw64/bin/xmake.exe but it does not exist. I think the demo.b is not copied.

Ohh... forgot to check the 32bit build. The 32bit build failed. See the linked PR CI build.

You can try make build ARCH=i386 first.

If it still fails, I'll take a look tomorrow.

I have fixed it on mingw32, you can update sha256 and try it again.

Why has xmake been merged and I executed pacman to update the database and still can't find it?

@waruqi What you do here and what is done in the repositories is not synchronized. @Alexpux uploads the packages and updates the databases, when he has free time.
