Windows MSYS2 build - qt4 removed? #1050

Open ddrake opened 2 years ago

ddrake commented 2 years ago

Hi, I was following the instructions in the wiki: https://github.com/Qucs/qucs/wiki/Build-Windows using MSYS2 on a Windows 10 machine. When this command failed: pacman --noconfirm -S mingw-w64-x86_64-qt4, I looked at the .appveyor.yml file and saw the links and instructions for the download and offline installation work-around. But wget -nc http://repo.msys2.org/mingw/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-qt4-4.8.7-4-any.pkg.tar.xz failed so I checked the directory http://repo.msys2.org/mingw/x86_64/ and no qt4 package seems to exist there anymore. Has anyone been able to find an alternative repo?

I'm running into problems with the Windows 10 build as well. For the specific problem you identify I tried using qt5 and that got me through the step. I have lots of other remaining issues with the build, however. These instructions may be outdated.
