Update....
Managed to compile the code. no errors.

However,

When I try to run the monero daemon or GUI I get a segmentation fault

BigslimVdub · 2018-09-15T02:47:13Z

how did you get this to compile? I have been unsuccessful 3 times now on 2 different systems on msys2 64 win10?
edit: literally identical fault:
https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/5y0DELxEPb~W7jJV6~a8CA

get_libwallet_api.sh runs and only compiles RPC and Daemon same as on aeon (aeonix#15) :

rbrunner7 · 2018-09-19T16:20:31Z

@cryptobarbossa : I have the same problem, and I would be very interested how you managed to finally compile.

I wonder which recent code or make file change brought this problem with it.

sanderfoobar · 2018-10-13T21:01:40Z

https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/tree/v0.13.0.2

The above (new) tag is known to compile correctly using mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5-5.11.1-3-any.pkg.tar.xz. Could you try this one and let us know?

BigslimVdub · 2018-10-13T21:06:20Z

I will uninstall qt and reinstall that package when I am available. Probably tomorrow. I will let you know what happens

sanderfoobar · 2018-10-13T21:07:26Z

@Lafudoci was able to correctly build using specifically this mingw/qt version on Windows 10 64bit, using the 0.13.0.2 tag.

BigslimVdub · 2018-10-14T18:27:16Z

looks like Msys issue not finding the package anymore.
I was building with 5.11.2-2 prior and uninstalled it.


$ pacman -U mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5-5.11.1-3-any.pkg.tar.xz                     
   loading packages...
   error: 'mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5-5.11.1-3-any.pkg.tar.xz': could not find or read package

But I have downloaded the tar from their old repo -
http://repo.msys2.org/mingw/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5-5.11.1-3-any.pkg.tar.xz

sanderfoobar · 2018-10-14T18:33:36Z

@BigslimVdub Let me know if that works. In addition, perhaps we (you) could also update the README, which contains pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5 - which does not work at this moment?

BigslimVdub · 2018-10-14T18:36:39Z

ahh,, figured it out. SO I had to download the tar from their repo and then CD to that folder on Mingw64 and then run the install line pacman -U mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5-5.11.1-3-any.pkg.tar.xz

I will try to clone again and build after qt installs and see what happens. May have dependency issues though since all my other packages are up to date.

edit: if this works for building I will pr the readme to include this. thanks

rbrunner7 · 2018-10-14T19:17:09Z

@skftn, @BigslimVdub: That problem with the latest Qt version from MSYS2 package might be already over in only a few days when an update arrives from the MSYS2 people, so maybe it would be a little premature to change the ReadMe. And after all the latest-at-a-given-moment package worked for months now.

BigslimVdub · 2018-10-14T20:10:22Z

Well tested with and without --recursive and both fail still at -

make[1]: execvp: /C/msys64/mingw64/bin/qmlcachegen.exe: Bad address
make[1]: *** [Makefile.Release:1035: release/qmlcache_loader.cpp] Error 127

It seems it can't link anything together. I had the identical error on the latest QT package so I don't believe its QT package related.

The only Cmake error I get is this : CMake Warning (dev) at C:/msys64/mingw64/share/cmake-3.12/Modules/CheckIncludeFile.cmake:70 (message):
  Policy CMP0075 is not set: Include file check macros honor
  CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES.  Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0075" for policy
  details.  Use the cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this
  warning.

  CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES is set to:

    iphlpapi;ws2_32

But I am unable to change policies in any way. Cmake_policy does not have an option in msys2 to edit the policy.

Lafudoci · 2018-10-15T01:46:33Z

ahh,, figured it out. SO I had to download the tar from their repo and then CD to that folder on Mingw64 and then run the install line pacman -U mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5-5.11.1-3-any.pkg.tar.xz

@BigslimVdub this command will do the downgrade for you.

pacman -U http://repo.msys2.org/mingw/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5-5.11.1-3-any.pkg.tar.xz

or you'll like to remove current one before downgrade for avoiding some downgrade issue.

pacman -R mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5

Also make sure you qt is in default path, then the 5.11.2 issue should be good now.

$ qmake -v
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 5.11.1 in C:/msys64/mingw64/lib

But for the last qmlcachegen.exe issue, it's the same with my previous issue #1636, it's still unsolved on one of my machine.

BigslimVdub · 2018-10-15T02:16:26Z

Ok I will wait for resolution on 1636 then

stoffu · 2018-12-04T01:14:52Z

I've tested a few downgraded versions and found 5.10.0 to be the latest working one:

pacman -U http://repo.msys2.org/mingw/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5-5.10.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

Edit: Looks like I have to manually copy libicu*58.dll due to the use of the old Qt version.

mmbyday · 2018-12-07T19:30:06Z

fwiw, On windows, I've fixed

qmlcachegen.exe issues by deleting one file,

monero-gui/build/qml_qmlcache.qrc

then build.sh works as expected, again.

$ qmake -v
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 5.11.1 in C:/msys64/mingw64/lib

stoffu · 2018-12-10T04:52:58Z

I realized that the build with the latest version mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5 5.11.2-3 succeeds by doing make -C build once the error was emitted. After further experimentation, I realized that the build succeeds also when I copied the entire contents of build.sh to the console manually. Even more simply, I found that

source ./build.sh release-static

also succeeds. I find this workaround weird and ugly, but perhaps it's worth updating the build instruction in README?
