Bugs found in MSys2 MINGW packages
« on: August 12, 2024, 04:53:24 pm »
Bugs I have found in MSys2 MINGW packages mainly under UCRT64 or MINGW64 MSys2 environments.
These are bugs that are not MSys2 MINGW packaging caused.

1. Warning on installing cbplugin file
MSys2 MINGW packaging uses configure/make to build the package and this bug likely only exists under Windows with configure/make builds.
Edit link to SF ticket https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/tickets/1497/
Fix below
Code
--- a/src/sdk/configmanager.cpp	(revision 13538)
+++ b/src/sdk/configmanager.cpp (working copy)
@@ -1497,7 +1497,7 @@
     if (plugin_path_global.IsEmpty())
     {
         if (platform::windows)

+            ConfigManager::plugin_path_global = app_path + _T("\\..\\lib\\codeblocks\\plugins");
         else if (platform::macosx)
             ConfigManager::plugin_path_global = data_path_global + _T("/plugins");
         else

2. MSys2 MINGW32 has build error. I have no idea why MINGW64 and UCRT64 does not have this error.
MSys2 MINGW packaging uses configure/make to build the package and this bug likely only exists under Windows with configure/make builds.

See also https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/issues/20922 there might already be a ticket for this issue

It looks to me that the second patch is replacing the exact text that it's taking out.
Code
-	$(WINDRES) $(WX_CXXFLAGS) -DcbDPI_AWARE_ON --include-dir $(top_srcdir)/src $< $@
+ $(WINDRES) $(WX_CPPFLAGS) -DcbDPI_AWARE_ON --include-dir $(top_srcdir)/src $< $@

Thanks, I need better eyes (or brain).

Since I just found out I made the same type of mistake on the CB sf.net ticket, I understand completely in my case it was likely a brain mistake.
It is bad getting old; but, the alternative is not better.
