How to build with msys2 and cmake?

[octaeder]

I follow Method 2: MSYS2 in the wiki. After installation cmake is not found. Earlier the wiki said you need PATH=$PATH:/c/msys64/mingw64/bin:/c/Users/WDAGUtilityAccount/AppData/Local/Programs/MiKTeX/miktex/bin/x64. With this cmake is found, but command cmake .. ends with a lot of messages and no build is possible. Here the first ones:

$ cmake ..

Is there something missing in the wiki? How should I proceed?

Thx

[sunderme]

there is no error. Without complete logs, there is nothing I can do.
And what is "no build is possible" ?

[octaeder]

I mean that I tried to go on with cmake --build . --parallel. It ends with make: Makefile: No such file or directory.

I attached CMakeOutupt.log from command cmake .. (executed in build directory). Do you need any more for analysis?

[octaeder]

typos in the manual: 1) remove following, 2) diretcly, 3) traget

Building texstudio:
The following optional dependencies are listed below.

Updating translations:
With cmake the command lupdate does not work diretcly. Instead when building for qt6 a debug build (DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug), a traget texstudio_lupdate is defined which needs to be called.

[octaeder]

Fixed in #2907.

txs compilation on win/msys2 works in principle as demonstrated by github action.
So, it seems that you are lacking poppler installation.
And why it fails on quazip and hunspell is really strange.
In your feet, I would discard (rename) the whole installation and start fresh.
CD uses the following packages:

git make mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-ninja
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-qt6-base mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-qt6-declarative 
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-qt6-svg mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-qt6-5compat  
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-qt6-tools mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-poppler-qt6 
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-nsis mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-quazip-qt6 
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-hunspell mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-qt6-translations 
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-python-mingw-ldd zip unzip

(for ucrt, needs to be adapted if another target is desired)
see .github/worksflows/cd.yml

Issues in Wiki description:

1. git make ... given in Wiki is missing mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-quazip-qt6.
2. Wiki states cmake without prefix mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-.
3. Since MSYS2 UCRT64 is started out of installation process of msys2 it might be better to use ucrt- in the package names.
4. Extend command given in Wiki to cmake .. -Wno-dev to suppress large amount of messages.
5. Directory build should not be in the repository path (as it was recommended for MSYS2 MSYS).

Remark: CD states (but Wiki not) package ...-ninja, seems to be installed via ...-cmake

Solved: TeXstudio 4.5.1 (git 4.5.1rc1-9-g0509588fe) is build and running

[octaeder]

The list of packages required for installation has been updated accordingly in the wiki (#2910).

[octaeder]

It seems that I'm not able to do a debug build (I use qDebug()<<"..."; at the beginning of Texstudio::Texstudio() and see no output). The manual says qt-cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. But msys2 doesn't find qt-cmake. Using cmake ../texstudio/ -Wno-dev -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug doesn't work either.
