Compiling with MSYS2

Compiling with MSYS2

HI,

 

Am attempting to compile emacs on Windows 64 by following instructions
INSTALL.W64\nt - emacs.git - Emacs source repository (gnu.org)
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/nt/INSTALL.W64>  and ran
into this configuration problem. Anyone have insight into the issue?

 

# ./autogen.sh

Checking whether you have the necessary tools...

(Read INSTALL.REPO for more details on building Emacs) Checking for autoconf
(need at least version 2.65) ... ok Your system has the required tools.

Building aclocal.m4 ...

Running 'autoreconf -fi -I m4' ...

Configuring local git repository...

'.git/config' -> '.git/config.~1~'

git config transfer.fsckObjects 'true'

git config diff.cpp.xfuncname '!^[
\t]*[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]*:[[:space:]]*($|/[/*])

^((::[[:space:]]*)?[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]*[[:space:]]*\(.*)$

^((#define[[:space:]]|DEFUN).*)$'

git config diff.elisp.xfuncname
'^\([^[:space:]]*def[^[:space:]]+[[:space:]]+([^()[:space:]]+)'

git config diff.m4.xfuncname '^((m4_)?define|A._DEFUN(_ONCE)?)\([^),]*'

git config diff.make.xfuncname
'^([$.[:alnum:]_].*:|[[:alnum:]_]+[[:space:]]*([*:+]?[:?]?|!?)=|define .*)'

git config diff.shell.xfuncname
'^([[:space:]]*[[:alpha:]_][[:alnum:]_]*[[:space:]]*\(\)|[[:alpha:]_][[:alnu
m:]_]*=)'

git config diff.texinfo.xfuncname '^@node[[:space:]]+([^,[:space:]][^,]+)'

Installing git hooks...

'build-aux/git-hooks/commit-msg' -> '.git/hooks/commit-msg'

'build-aux/git-hooks/pre-commit' -> '.git/hooks/pre-commit'

'build-aux/git-hooks/prepare-commit-msg' -> '.git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg'

'.git/hooks/applypatch-msg.sample' -> '.git/hooks/applypatch-msg'

'.git/hooks/pre-applypatch.sample' -> '.git/hooks/pre-applypatch'

You can now run './configure'.

 

Bob@Cache MSYS /c/EmacsGit/emacs

# ./configure --prefix=/c/emacs/emacsgit --without-dbus

configure: loading site script /etc/config.site checking for xcrun... no
checking for GNU Make... make checking build system type... x86_64-pc-msys
checking host system type... x86_64-pc-msys

configure: error: Emacs does not support 'x86_64-pc-msys' systems.

If you think it should, please send a report to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org.

Check 'etc/MACHINES' for recognized configuration names.

Follow the instructions from a MinGW-w64 shell (should be labelled as
"MSYS2 MinGW 64 bit" or similar on your MSYS2 install.)

I am not sure, I never had problems with compiling on msys2, but which
shell do you use? I am not in windows now, but I think you should use
mingw64 shell not msys64. I am not 100% but try. Can be that system name
will be slightly different dependning on which shell you use. I think it
is unfortuante to have those different "systems" with msys2, but so it is.

I think you can skip --without-dbus on windows, configure is bright
enough to not configure the source with dbus on windows.

You can also check if this guide helps you:
