Multiple issues with Windows "Getting Started"

[SethMarshall]

Attempting to follow the "Getting Started: Windows" instructions with Mingw, but running into the following issues:

pacman -S base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-ninja mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain

This above command gives the impression that it would install three packages automatically. Instead it brings up a menu of 19 separate installs! (I install them all to be on the safe side)

curl -LO https://github.com/modula3/cm3/releases/download/d5.11.4/cm3-dist-AMD64_LINUX-d5.11.4.tar.xz

This (above) command results in a certificate error. "Unknown error (0x80092012) - The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate." However, even when telling curl to ignore certs, it still fails.

No matter I suppose, so I manually download and unzip cm3-dist-AMD64_NT-d5.11.4 then create and cd to directory build. I ensure that msys2 and CMake are already installed.

../cm3/scripts/concierge.py install --prefix /c/cm3

(I assume that's a type-o and should be "python3 ../cm3/scripts/concierge.py install --prefix /c/cm3"). Anyway, here is the error after that command churns for a bit:

CMake Error at bootstrap.cmake:17 (find_library):

[SethMarshall]

Thank you for the pointers. Here's what I have so far:

I downloaded and unzipped the file you mentioned to c:\cm3. So now the directory contents I have are...

c:\cm3\bin
c:\cm3\lib
c:\cm3\license
c:\cm3\man
c:\cm3\package

(I actually had to add c:\cm3\bin to PATH). Now I open "x64 Native Tools prompt for VS 2022" cd to c:\cm3 and run cm3
Here is the error message:

Sorry, not sure I follow. The zipped file you advised me to download contains no folder "examples" and no file "hello" when unzipped.

I take it you mean that I should clone the repo in another directory and try the compiler there? I do have a clone of the repo on my desktop. When I cd into /examples/hello inside it and run cm3 here are the results:

Yes, You do "all as need".

[SethMarshall]

Thank you, sir. I was able to successfully compile and execute my own "Hello World" project (including with an m3makefile to import the standard library). Very cool.

Yes, I think so: cm3 "m3makefile style" of compiling is very nice

[SethMarshall]

Ok. Perhaps it would be worth adding these additional steps to the "Getting Started" then?

The OP doesn't know how to use MSYS2. First thing after you install it is to update it with pacman -Syu since it's rolling release. It take two times running pacman -Syu (and one restart of the MSYS2 shell) to done the update.

At no point whatsoever did I "whine" about anything. I'll graciously assume your choice of words is due to non-native English, because otherwise what you said is disrespectful and needlessly antagonistic.

Before whining please take time to learn the thing. Sincere.

[VictorMiasnikov]

We have another problem: "my 5.11.9" (?) based on non-master branch. There is be good to integrate this branch to master branch 2022-11-02: rodney-new branch "integrate this branch" with "master branch", but have little / minor problems . . . 2022-11-16: "master branch" has been integrate with rodney-new branch, etc. We have some resulted binaries in https://github.com/VictorMiasnikov/cm3/releases/tag/d5.11.9-ZZYYXX-20221108_14-05 ToDo: Add cm3 AMD64_NT binaries . . .

Ah yes, how unreasonable of me to suggest amending what is already a very terse guide with any indication that there are quirks to getting MSYS2 configured.

Ok. Perhaps it would be worth adding these additional steps to the "Getting Started" then?

No. Getting MSYS2 up and ready is of your part. In no way we have any responsibility to teach you how to use MSYS2.

Your contempt towards users politely asking for assistance is quite remarkable. Actually, it doesn't look like you're even a contributor to this project, so who is this we you think you're speaking for? At any rate, I have no intention of engaging your hostility any further, so we're done here.
