SFML 2.4.2 update

[oomek]

Any chance to update sfml to 2.4.2 ?

[starius]

Please take a look #1760

[oomek]

Awesome, thanks. Will the precompiled package be updated soon?

[oomek]

I've updated mxe with apt-get from pkg.mxe.cc but config.cpp in the SFML folder is still showing 2.3.2

[starius]

The pull request #1760 hasn't been even merged yet.
Then the rebuild of binary distribution will take at least a day.

[starius]

Travis fails to download new sfml for some reason:
https://travis-ci.org/mxe/mxe/builds/228516653#L735

[oomek]

I see, the green checkmark mislead me. Thanks for explaining.

[oomek]

Did you make any proggress with this issue by any chance?

[oomek]

I desperately need this update. Have you managed to figure out why it's not compiling yet?

[starius]

Sorry for the delay!

The issue was not with sfml but with the fact its site uses new CA which is not recognized by old version of wget used in the test. I updated the test environment in 3ad6743 so it works now.

Regarding pkg.mxe.cc - I'll start the build soon.

[oomek]

Thanks a lot!

[oomek]

I don't want to hustle you or anything, but can you please be more specific what soon means in this case :)

[starius]

The packages have been built. They are being packed to .deb and to .tar now.

[starius]

The packages are available for testing. Can you test your workflow on the new version of packages, please? To try it, use official instructions (http://pkg.mxe.cc), replacing http://pkg.mxe.cc/repos/apt/debian with http://pkg.mxe.cc/releases/2017-05-19/apt/debian

I'll also do some tests on my side. If everything is OK, I'll announce the new version and switch default path http://pkg.mxe.cc/repos/apt/debian to the new version.

[oomek]

Unfortunately on the new version compiling fails during linking.
Here is the log file:

[oomek]

I see now all sfml package config files has been consolidated to one sfml.pc
I've updated my makefile, but it's still throwing an error because one dependency is missing
gl.pc

[oomek]

http://paste.ubuntu.com/24614212/

[starius]

gl.pc should be in /usr/lib/mxe/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32.static/lib/pkgconfig/gl.pc

[oomek]

I've checked there before posting and there is only:
glew.pc
glewmx.pc
glfw3.pc
glpk.pc
glut.pc

but no gl.pc or glu.pc

[starius]

Can you post output of:

$ dpkg -L mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.static-mxe-conf

[oomek]

root@ubuntu:~# dpkg -L mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.static-mxe-conf
dpkg-query: package 'mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.static-mxe-conf' is not installed
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.

[starius]

Hmm, that is strange. Can you now post output of

$ aptitude show mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.static-mxe-conf

?

[oomek]

I'm unable to install aptitude due to some dependencies failing to install.
I looked at the install log of mxe and indeed conf hasn't been installed
After typing apt-get install -f I get some errors:

This seems to be the same as #1772 but with mxe-conf vs cmake-conf now...

I built a list of files included to multiple packages in the recent build (2017-05-19):
https://gist.github.com/05435e5095ca41ee062fc1338e6e736d

Some of them can be excluded (.gitkeep, nonetwork.so), but there are also some headers and libraries.

[oomek]

I know, but every time I use apt-get I'm bombarded by the tons of lines like this one:

mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.static-qtsensors : Depends: mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.static-mxe-conf but it is not going to be installed
                                           Depends: mxe-x86-64-unknown-linux-gnu-mxe-conf but it is not going to be installed

[starius]

It says it is not going to be installed because of trying to overwrite the common files.

[oomek]

I see, but does it explain missing OpenGL pc files?

[starius]

I have to fix this problem with common files.
Whatever the fix is, it is likely to need another release to apply.
Meanwhile the following workaround can be used:

$ sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install ...

[starius]

does it explain missing OpenGL pc files?

Yes, it does. OpenGL pc (gl.pc) is a part of mxe-conf, which fails to install due to the issue with common files.

[starius]

See the list of files in the package:
http://pkg.mxe.cc/releases/2017-05-19/list/mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.static/mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.static-mxe-conf.list

[oomek]

Thank you for the tip.
apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install -f
It finally compiled.
