bulding rack problem

Development

hi,

i’m trying to build Rack on a Windows 10 machine (not so “new”). follow the usual steps on the manual, but at some points, it always got to me this:

l.o crypto/x509v3/v3err.o crypto/x86_64cpuid.o
${LDCMD:-gcc} -m64 -g -O3 -fPIC -march=nehalem -g -O3 -fPIC -march=nehalem -L.  -g -O3 -fPIC -march=nehalem \
		-o test/rsa_complex.exe test/rsa_complex.o \
		 -lws2_32 -lgdi32 -lcrypt32
C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\ar.exe: creating libcrypto.a
C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\ar.exe: crypto/cast/c_cfb64.o: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [Makefile:760: libcrypto.a] Error 1
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[3]: Leaving directory '/c/repos/Rack/dep/openssl-1.1.1k'

make[1]: *** [Makefile:128: lib/libssl.a] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/c/repos/Rack/dep'
make: *** [Makefile:112: dep] Error 2

i really don’t get why, never had problem with building. Tried to clean the whole suite, reinstall, and such. same.

did you ever catch the same problem? how would I fix it? thanks

I think it’s a known issue with updated msys2 tools. See these posts for a fix.

no need to write support@vcvrack, they are aware.

sorry, but didnt get a solution from your post (wont build official release from a fork; nothing personal, but its out of my scope of interess).

should I use a different msys version? which one?

yeah, the official version does not build with the current tools. If you want you can wait for VCV for fix it, which can sometimes take them a very long time. Or you can find an older post from @Bloodbat that tells how to roll back the version of gcc that’s in msys2.

i see. so basically I need to:

  • download latest msys (current msys2-x86_64-20240727.exe from here)
  • setup packages with pacman using Rack develop tutorial, excluding mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
  • install manually mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc-13.2.0-6-any.pkg.tar.zst and mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc-libs-13.2.0-6-any.pkg.tar.zst, as specified here

correct?
