Hello, A little background: In ticket #39246 [1], Keith asks me to package a newer version of awk for MSYS. I took the opportunity to try out his mingw-pkg tool [2], but ran into trouble. Since, according to Keith, he supports his tool on this mailing list, I am following-up here. My steps were: 1) Clone, build and install mingw-pkg [2]. 2) Read "mingw-pkg --help" 3) Inspect the source for a better understanding of each command. 4) Run an MSYS Developer Shell (the package is for MSYS). 5) Unpack the source for awk [3] and go into the top directory. 6) Run: mingw-pkg --arch=msys initialize 7) Run: mingw-pkg --arch=msys mkspec 8) Edit the Package Spec file on arch/msys (attached, work in progress) 9) Create an MSYS specific patch and put it into arch/msys (attached) 10) Run: mingw-pkg --arch=msys patch 11) Run: mingw-pkg --arch=msys compile Up to here, all seems to go well. 12) Run: mingw-pkg --arch=msys install This installs to /usr/local, where I was expecting some staging directory. 12) Run: mingw-pkg --arch=msys distribute This gives an error: >>> prepare source distribution mingw-pkg: *** FATAL *** no handler implemented for action 'stage_srcdist' Note: I also tried the example pthreads-win32-2.10-pre.tar.xz in [2], with the same error above on the distribute step. At this point, I suspected that mingw-pkg was incomplete, but Keith assures me he is using it for some time already. Regards, Cesar [1] Ticket #39246 - Please update MSYS awk; current awk-3.1.7 implementation is too old to remain viable https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/ticket/39246 [2] MinGW Package Builder Tool https://osdn.net/users/keith/pf/mingw.pkg/wiki/FrontPage [3] http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gawk/gawk-4.0.1.tar.xz -------------- next part -------------- # gawk-4.0.1-msys.pkgspec # # Package specification file -- automatically generated by mingw-pkg # # Package name and version must be explicitly specified; these appear # as the initial part of the package name, as interpreted by mingw-get. # pkgname gawk pkgversion 4.0.1 # Contributed by Cesar Strauss # Copyright (C) 2020, MinGW.org Project # # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy # of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal # in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights # to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell # copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is # furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: # # The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in # all copies or substantial portions of the Software. # # THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR # IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, # FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
