windows build under msys2 fails with config.guess issue about curl-rust HOT 16 CLOSED

@vvuk could you gist the logs of this? Our buildbots build Cargo (and transitively, this library) each night in MSYS2 and I've also built this a bunch locally, so I'm surprised this is happening!

from curl-rust.

Hmm. Maybe it's because I'm using the x64 version of msys2?

Can you gist the build logs of Cargo trying to build libcurl? If I run this in a 64-bit msys2 shell it works out ok so I'm not quite sure what's going on.

from curl-rust.

Replace your
C:\Users\youname.cargo\registry\src\github.com-0a35038f75765ae4\curl-sys-0.1.25\curl\config.guess
by
msys64\usr\share\automake-1.15\config.guess

from curl-rust.

The log is pretty uninteresting, pretty much what I posted above: https://gist.github.com/vvuk/f37ec1d1e4d1bd94e96d

Note that the build totally wedges if I start using mingw64-shell.bat instead of msys-shell.bat (and add /mingw64/bin to the PATH) -- if $MSYSTEM is MINGW64, cmake doesn't recognize the system (and the build wedges earlier). If I use mingw64-shell.bat and then set MSYSTEM=MSYS, then I hit the above.

Hm ok, thanks for the logs! Does this branch work for you?

from curl-rust.

I'm having this issue too, here's the log: gist.

@alexcrichton your branch doesn't compile for me either, here's the log: gist.

from curl-rust.

@Seeker14491 your second error indicates that you may not have been running inside of an MSYS shell, are you sure you were?

from curl-rust.

@alexcrichton Yes, I'm using MSYS2. I followed the install instructions, then ran these commands:

$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain

$ pacman -S git

$ pacman -S --needed base-devel

The thing is, I had problems running these commands on my computer, as the downloads would time out on my connection, so I spun up a Windows Server 2012 VPS. I Installed MSYS2 on it and ran all the commands, which completed successfully. I then transferred the C:\msys64 folder from the VPS to my computer.

I should have tried building on the VPS to see if that worked; I'll try that now.

from curl-rust.

Ok, I tried building on the VPS, and I get the same error. Here are the exact steps I took:

• Go to the MSYS2 page; download and install the 64-bit version; follow all installation instructions on that page.
• Run the following commands in the MSYS2 shell:

$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
$ pacman -S git
$ pacman -S --needed base-devel

• Add C:\msys64\mingw64\bin to PATH.
• Install 64-bit Rust nightly; tick installation option to add to PATH.
• In the MSYS2 shell, run the commands:

$ git clone "https://github.com/alexcrichton/curl-rust.git" --branch "update-curl"
$ cd curl-rust
$ cargo build --release

Here's the output of that cargo build command: gist

from curl-rust.

@Seeker14491 oh right sorry, I read that error message wrong. You'll need to run git submodule update --init to check out the libcurl submodule

from curl-rust.

@alexcrichton this sequence of commands still fails:

$ git clone "https://github.com/alexcrichton/curl-rust.git" --branch "update-curl"
$ cd curl-rust
$ git submodule update --init
$ cargo build

The log

from curl-rust.

Ah oops, looks like I forgot to check in a file, wanna try that branch again?

from curl-rust.

@alexcrichton Ok, I reran that same sequence of commands, but it still errors.

from curl-rust.

Hm that looks to be the same error as before, so maybe it hasn't been fixed upstream?
