Dependency Analysis

Please note that this analysis is highly experimental. The aim here is to make maintenance easier by inspecting the package's dependencies. Importantly this analysis does not support optional dependencies, please double check those before making changes. If you do not want hinting of this kind ever please add bot: inspection: false to your conda-forge.yml. If you encounter issues with this feature please ping the bot team conda-forge/bot.

Analysis by source code inspection shows no discrepancy with the stated requirements in the meta.yaml.

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:

• Selectors are suggested to take a <two spaces>#<one space>[<expression>] form. See lines [15]

[pkgw]

Windows is hitting an error we've seen in more and more of these packages:

configure.ac:5: error: Autoconf version 2.70 or higher is required

... but note that last month the M2 packages finally got updated after several years, so we have 2.71.3 as an option!

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

I just wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe) and found it was in an excellent condition.

[pkgw]

Current issue is a lack of unistd.h. I'll have to remind myself what to do about that sort of thing in the MSYS2/MinGW framework ...

(Side note, it looks like the posix dep probably can/should be restored.)

[pkgw]

Ah, yes, I believe that the idea is that the new version won't let you use the Cygwin/MinGW POSIX compatibility libraries; your code has to be compatible with the native Windows APIs without relying on the support libraries. In the particular case of makedepend, that will probably require some relatively invasive patching, although it's a pretty small program overall.

[pkgw]

I'll duplicate one of my commit messages here in the PR discussion. For posterity, here are the changes to update the package to work with the updated MSYS2 stack:

• Remove very old MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL workaround in bld.bat
• Remove very old IFS workaround in build.sh
• Update Automake to 1.16 (in both meta.yaml and build.sh)
• Update aclocal include path given to autoreconf
• Remove posix dep; addm2-{grep,m4} (on Windows only, of course)
• Change make dep to m2-make (Windows only)
• Change m2w64-pkg-config dep to m2-pkg-config (Windows only)
• Switch to MSVC compilers: change compiler('m2w64_c') to compiler('c'), etc

Other X.org packages that are migrating should also use the opportunity to start depending on the unified xorg-xorgproto protocol package, which supersedes the individual xorg-*proto packages that we have used historically.

In this particular package, we also need to patch the source to work on a native MSVC build. I believe that most other X.org packages should be able to build with MSVC without needing (additional) patching.

[ehfd]

In case there's an error preventing build in MS VC (I have seen a lot of blockers requiring dirty patches):

From isuruf: (the Windows GCC toolchain compatible with) m2-automake1.16 is still being worked on. Not there yet.

[ehfd]

Switch to MSVC compilers: change compiler('m2w64_c') to compiler('c'), etc

https://anaconda.org/search?q=mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gcc

It might be that this is the new mingw compiler which may be used for (many) feedstocks for X.org which do not run properly on VC.

[ehfd]

I think this example is a good direction to go for X11 feedstocks.
