[GNC-dev] Building on Windows

[Matthew Forbis]

Hi responding to myself:

First, forgot plain text in the first email, so I fixed the formatting in the original below to make it easier to read.
Second, my system has both icu 61 which is the one explicitly required for webkit as well as has icu 64 which was installed as part of the libxml2 library.  When I do a pkg-config, it finds the version 61 one.  I suspect this might be related to my problem, but I'm not experienced enough as a programmer to figure out how to solve it.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi All,
I have recently worked on building GNUCash on windows to try to debug a problem I've been having with my reports.  I found a few things that look like the script might need to be updated for (or I had something wrong in my procedure).

1.  I had to install some packages through pacman manually:
openssl-devel - this seemed to keep python's hashlib from working correctly and not able to go very in the build process (I didn't start keeping notes right at the beginning).
mingw-w64-i686-gnutls - I don't remember the exact error this caused, but I had to install it to continue. (I think I had to use this format as well to install)
glib2-devel - Required for gnucash.
libxml2-devel - Required for gnucash
libxslt-devel - Required for gnucash

2.  When I got to webkitgtk3, I noticed it hadn't installed during the setup powershell script.  This failed due to a missing angleproject package.  This was not available in pacman anymore, so I ended up modifying setup-mingw64.ps1 to add this to the install and re-ran it and it appears to have installed correctly.

But, that brings me to now where I'm stuck.  I am getting the following error when building:
[ 42%] Linking CXX shared library ../../bin/libgncmod-engine.dllC:/gcdev64/msys2/mingw32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/9.2.0/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: CMakeFiles/gncmod-engine.dir/objects.a(gnc-date.cpp.obj): in function `gnc_start_of_week':C:/gcdev64/gnucash/maint/src/gnucash-git/libgnucash/engine/gnc-date.cpp:214: undefined reference to `icu_64::Calendar::createInstance(UErrorCode&)'C:/gcdev64/msys2/mingw32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/9.2.0/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: C:/gcdev64/gnucash/maint/src/gnucash-git/libgnucash/engine/gnc-date.cpp:217: undefined reference to `u_errorName_64'C:/gcdev64/msys2/mingw32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/9.2.0/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: C:/gcdev64/gnucash/maint/src/gnucash-git/libgnucash/engine/gnc-date.cpp:222: undefined reference to `icu_64::Calendar::getFirstDayOfWeek(UErrorCode&) const'collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Any hints as to how to debug this one?

Thanks,
Matt
