How to update xmake in package manager after using xmake update?

[f-zl]

I installed xmake in msys2 using pacman. I met the problem #4278 and used xmake update -s dev to solve it. After that, pacman cannot update xmake because of conflicting files.

I tried reinstalling xmake but it failed in the same way. Is there an easy way to update xmake in pacman after xmake update -s dev?

try

xmake update dev
source ~/.xmake/profile

Thanks for the reply. Though xmake update dev seems to download a GUI installer rather than a msys2 package.

I manage to reinstall xmake by

1. Remove pacman package: pacman -R mingw-w64-x86_64-xmake
2. Remove remaining files in /share/xmake: rm -rf /mingw64/share/xmake
3. Reinstall: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-xmake
