Help needed retrieving & compiling GLFW and Lua via xrepo.

[Lollio64]

I was trying to retrieve GLFW and Lua from xrepo and after configuring my toolchain to be GCC, I stumbled upon an error:

vs not found

After looking online for a bit, I found out that compiling packages with GCC on Windows is not possible, the alternative was to configure target to be cross-platform, which defines LUA_USE_POSIX. This includes <sys/wait.h> which is a header not available on my system.

Is there a way to fix this issues?

Also regarding GLFW, I got this error from CMake:

CMake Error at /opt/devkitpro/msys2/usr/share/cmake/Modules/CMakePackageConfigHelpers.cmake:275 (file):
  file RELATIVE_PATH must be passed a full path to the directory:
  C:/Users/User/AppData/Local/.xmake/packages/g/glfw/3.4/cb1f14e2e583492c85cc60a4843cf9d1/lib/cmake/glfw3
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:110 (configure_package_config_file)


Threads: TRUE  
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I'm curious how I would go about fixing this problem too.

if you use gcc on windows, please switch to mingw platform on msys2.

xmake f -p mingw
xmake

[Lollio64]

How would I configure the MinGW path?

[waruqi]

use msys2/mingw64 shell, it will detect and use mingw automatically.

or xmake -p mingw --mingw=/sdk

It worked though I'm still facing some other issues regarding CMake:

[waruqi]

please run it on msys2/mingw64 shell instead of cmd/ps

It is working, although it just fails to download CMake either from GitHub or CMake files. I guess I have to get them manually.

[Lollio64]

It is not working not matter where I set to look for packages.

[Lollio64]

It is still unable to install GLFW because I'm unable to install cmake, neither automatically (even though websites are still up) nor though pacman (something with databases) or manually downloading a package and specifying package directory.

And Lua won't install due to a cryptic error (looking for mingw directory with broken characters).

And yes I am using the MinGW64 shell.

[Lollio64]

I am able to somehow install these packages separately, but when it comes to installing as part of requirements it suddenly fails.

[Lollio64]

With the exception of cmake.

[Lollio64]

How would I install packages manually?

[waruqi]

see https://xmake.io/#/package/remote_package?id=remote-package-download-optimization

[Lollio64]

Do I have to modify anything in the xmake.lua for this to work? As the documentation on the website is kinda unspecific on that topic.

[Lollio64]

I fixed the issue by installing 7zip via pacman, which fixed the issue with cmake and I lua also magically started working!
