Hmm. In the meantime you can bypass that problem by adding the
option
--without-gsf to the script for configuring the build. I'll have to
experiment on Windows to see what's going wrong with the libgsf linkage.
Hi,
I have now successfully produced a snapshot installer exe (although the
result is untested), but there are a couple of caveats still:
* The unsettled gsf issue from above (I followed your config suggestion
to simply ignore it).
* In install-runtime-gtk3.sh I had to apply the following changes:
- rename libgailutil-3.dll to libgailutil-3-0.dll
- comment out the immodules line, because there aren't any dll's in the
referenced dir (will that be a problem later on in using the program?)
* In mkdist.sh I needed to point to "Inno Setup 6" instead of 5; this is
obviously related to my newly installed version, but I just followed the
instructions in the guide (section 6), so I guess it could be updated.
* In win32/windist/isstop.64 I needed to comment out the use of Greek as
a language because that didn't work for me. I suspect this could be
solved by installing Greek language support on this Windows 10 system,
but I haven't tried yet. (OTOH Japanese is also specified there and that
didn't cause any problems, although I'm pretty sure I don't have that
installed. So maybe there's something else going on.)
* I'm repeating my open question whether ..../gbuild/gretl needs to be
created manually before the whole process.
Thanks,
Sven
