[actions] issue with msys2 - cannot find -lglfw3dll
Closed this issue · 8 comments
Actions are failing in msys2 since last week
D:/a/_temp/msys64/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/13.2.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lglfw3dll: No such file or directory
I've installed locally msys2 in a machine and it seems to work well, even compiling the same file that fails in github actions.
Any idea of what can be causing this?

disabling silent we can see the complete linker invocation here

I was able to fix it experimentally by removing glfw from
PLATFORM_PKG_CONFIG_LIBRARIES += glfw3
and adding to
PLATFORM_LIBRARIES += glfw3
Seems MYSYS2 PKG glfw3 uses C++ Dynamic Link rather than static hence the + DLL error
latest GLFW version (3.3.9) released on 13-dec fixes a pkg-config bug
[Win32] Fix pkg-config for dynamic library on Windows (#2386, #2420)
I guess that MSYS2 recipe hasn't been updated to reflect this change.
related: openframeworks/apothecary#328
hello @oxillo, what do you recommend us to do in this case?
revert this PR after the recipe starts pointing to 3.3.9 ?
The MSYS2 team has released a patch of GLFW 3.3.9 that reverts to the old behavior.
I guess we should also revert !
