Trying to get recipe modified to build on Windows. Used bld.bat from gobject-introspection-feedstock and patterned changes on meta.yaml from there also.

Partially building. Not sure what's wrong yet though. All suggestions appreciated.

Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe) and found some lint.

Here's what I've got...

For recipe:

The top level meta keys are in an unexpected order. Expecting ['package', 'source', 'build', 'requirements', 'outputs', 'about', 'extra'].

You don't want any m* pkg-config.. You want one that looks in the msvc directories instead.

Where do I get this then?

(base) C:\Users\Tim>conda search "*pkg-config*"

You may need to build it, is it definitely essential? I am not familiar with meson, how do you tell it where to find things and what compilers to use etc?

tjwilli58 commented 5 years ago

I'm actually not very familiar with meson either (or building with msvc either for that matter - I'm mainly a Python programmer.) I'm just following the success @pkgw has had with building gobject-introspection-feedstock and glib-feedstock on Windows.

Re: this PR

tjwilli58 commented 5 years ago

I put m2w64-pkg-config back instead of m2-pkg-config. That finds the libraries and things get compiled. The error I'm finding is with ninja test in bld.bat. If I comment that out, gst-plugins-base gets built, but the build for the gstreamer output fails.

nmaxwell commented 4 years ago

Can I ask what the status of this is? We're interested in running GStreamer on Windows, and are already using anaconda for everything. The current build status says the windows build is disabled. Thanks!

pkgw commented 4 years ago

@nmaxwell I think the status is about what you see here — there's been interest but no one's pushing this over the finish line.

tjwilli58 commented 4 years ago

I'd love to get back to this, because I need it too, but I realized that I'm not the right person to be doing this. I forget what I got hung up on, but I kept running into problems building this.

I think that the build process for gstreamer has progressed a bit though, so it may be easier. For now, I'm using msys2 for gstreamer and gst-python.
