How to build from source on MSYS2 MINGW64? #621

Closed ghost closed 1 year ago

I cloned with git clone --recursive https://github.com/mosra/magnum

Then I run cmake configuration as normal and it failed with:

-- Building for: Ninja

-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info
-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done

Hi!

You need to build & install Corrade first. The dependencies aren't bundled in any way as Magnum spans across several repositories and there's no "top level" project.

But -- since you're on MSYS -- the best is probably to just use the packages. That also ensures all 3rd party dependencies for import/export plugins etc. are installed. See the corresponding sections in the docs for details, you'll want to build the development PKGBUILD and not the latest stable release:

Plugins, integration, extras and bindings repos contain similar packages. Hope this helps! :)
