[Bug]: CodeLite is unbuildable on Windows #3316

Closed yunkot closed 7 months ago

yunkot commented 7 months ago

What happened?

I usually use CodeLite on Linux, so this is first time trying to build it on Windows since the monthly build is 4-5 months old now.

I'm using instructions from https://docs.codelite.org/build/build_from_sources. The part of building "wx-config.exe" fails with this:

-- Install configuration: "Release"
CMake Error at src/cmake_install.cmake:49 (file):
  file cannot create directory: C:/Program Files (x86)/wx-config-msys2/bin.
  Maybe need administrative privileges.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  cmake_install.cmake:42 (include)

mingw32-make: *** [Makefile:99: install] Error 1

A better approach would be to put "wx-config.exe" somewhere, where no administrative privileges are required, but instructions say nothing about this. I've manually copied it to the path it wanted to install, added that path to PATH environment variable on Windows. I also noticed that CodeLite itself comes with "wx-config-msys2" submodule, so maybe these steps are no longer necessary?

Instructions also never mention that you have to install "InnoSetup", which seems to also be required. Now, when running CMake command with CodeLite, I'm getting these errors:

It's difficult to judge due a flood of deprecation warnings, but a wild guess tells that wxWidgets is probably not being found correctly, but I have no idea how to fix it.

I have updated the instructions:

yunkot commented 7 months ago

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to add "$HOME/root/bin" to PATH: msys2 system simply ignores Windows environment PATH variable and uncommenting MSYS2_PATH_TYPE=inherit in msys2.ini doesn't work.

As a workaround for "wx-config-msys", I've used the following command: cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local

Also, in instructions for building wxWidgets, the make command should be: mingw32-make -j$(nproc) install ("install" was missing)

After above changes, CodeLite gets built successfully, however, it doesn't run. Initially, when trying to execute it, it complains for missing DLLs such as "wxmsw330u_clang_custom.dll", "libssh.dll", "libc++.dll", etc. After copying these DLLs from corresponding msys2 folders to "bin" folder of CodeLite, there are no more complains, but after running it - nothing happens. As far as I can tell, no log file is generated anywhere, and there is no error message.

P.S. I'm running on Windows 10 22H2, using "UCRT64" version of "msys2".

yunkot commented 7 months ago

By the way, I don't seem to have option to re-open this issue. :(

eranif commented 7 months ago

Maybe it isn't clear enough from the docs, but: You should build CodeLite from a MSYS terminal on Windows, not from CMD.

After successfully call to:

mingw32-make -j$(nproc) install

You should run it from the install directory, a one liner should be:

 (mingw32-make -j$(nproc) install && cd install && ./codelite -d /home/$USER/cache)

Note: the -d /home/$USER/cache tells CodeLite to read the settings from a different location instead of using the deafult %appdata%\CodeLite

eranif commented 7 months ago

The install target copies all the missing DLLs you mentioned into the install folder:

I'm using msys2 terminal.

eranif commented 7 months ago

are you running this from within an MSYS terminal?

eranif commented 7 months ago

Delete your CMakeCache.txt - run it again and try. It should work. It works on 3 different windows machines I have

yunkot commented 7 months ago

This is a fresh/new msys2 installation and before executing above I've removed and re-created the whole "build-release" folder, and yes, I'm doing everything from within MSYS terminal. Perhaps there is some extra step you are doing that is not described in instructions, which is missing in my case?

yunkot commented 7 months ago

To clarify, I'm building CodeLite as:

git clone https://github.com/eranif/codelite.git
cd codelite
git submodule update --init --recursive --progress
mkdir build-release && cd build-release
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DWXWIN=$HOME/root -Wno-dev
mingw32-make -j$(nproc) install

All executed inside MSYS terminal, and installation fails with aforementioned error.

eranif commented 7 months ago

You should have a file name build-release/msys2-environment what its content?. The content of the env variables in this file are coming from the environment variable WD To check that it exists for you, run: echo $WD (inside the MSYS terminal)

If it doesn't, try this:

WD=D:/msys64 cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DWXWIN=$HOME/root -Wno-dev
mingw32-make -j$(nproc) install

Note: a good msys2-environment file should contain something like this:

export WXWIN=C:/msys64/home/eran/root
export MSYS2_HOME=C:/msys64
yunkot commented 7 months ago

After calling "cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DWXWIN=$HOME/root -Wno-dev" command in an empty "build-release" folder, the contents of "msys2-environment" are:

export WXWIN=D:/msys64/home/localuser/root
export MSYS2_HOME=

"echo $WD" gives an empty string.

Edit: I also tried running "cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DWXWIN=$HOME/root -DMSYS2_HOME=/d/msys64 -Wno-dev", but this gives a warning of unused variable and doesn't change content of "MSYS2_HOME". After executing "cmake" command, manually editing "msys2-environment" and specifying "MSYS2_HOME" to point to correct path still leads to the same error as above.

eranif commented 7 months ago

Set it locally to installation path of msys

yunkot commented 7 months ago

Sorry, I didn't notice "WD=D:/msys64" part before "cmake" in your previous post - this command does produce correct "msys2-environment", resulting in build and installation going successfully. After that, CodeLite can be executed normally from "install" folder, even outside of "msys2" terminal.

It seems that "WD=D:/msys64" part is crucial to enable successful build of CodeLite on Windows. I would suggest to add this to the instructions. Many thanks!

eranif commented 7 months ago

Docs updated + changed the logic in the CMake files. CodeLite now requires that you set the environment variable MSYS2_BASE in order for CMake to succeed
