Fedora 12: What projects for F12?
by Richard W.M. Jones 20 Mar '10

20 Mar '10

Fedora 11 is nearly in beta, and thanks to some judicious cuts at the end, we made it to 100% feature complete. Thanks to the many people who helped out reviewing packages and testing. What do we want to aim for in Fedora 12? Some ideas - please add your own to this thread. (1) Win64 support (see: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fedora-mingw/2009-February/thread.… ) (2)? Use mingw-w64 project to build 32 bit w32api/runtime, since mingw-w64 seems to be more active. (3) Darwin / OS X support (see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-March/msg00397.html ) (4) Get some of the issues resolved in the packaging guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MinGW/Packaging_issues (5) Expand active members, particularly packagers. I would like to start by having a website which doesn't suck like our current one. (6) Move educational materials to a single place. (7) Have a FAQ. (8) I'd like to have a reasonable Python story. I spent a lot of time trying to get Python and Python libs to cross-compile, without any success.

mingw32-SDL_image and mingw32-SDL_mixer
by Jason Woofenden 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Hi all, I'm pretty new to this packaging and cross-compiling, but I put together a couple packages anyway: http://jasonwoof.com/downloads/mingw32-SDL_image-1.2.6-1.fc11.src.rpm http://jasonwoof.com/downloads/mingw32-SDL_mixer-1.2.8-1.fc11.src.rpm They seem to work quite well for me, but I don't really know what I'm doing, so I'd appreciate more knowledgeable folk looking over my spec files. Here's what I did and where everything came from: (all in F11) 1) I set up my .rpmmacros so it would store sources in separate directories by package name-version by adding this line: %_sourcedir %{_topdir}/SOURCES/%{name}-%{version} I was worried that multiple source rpms would have files in them with the same name (which turned out to be the case) and I wanted to make sure I could tell what packages what files came from. 2) I used yumdownloader to download source rpms for SDL SDL_mixer SDL_image and SDL and installed them in my local rpmbuild tree 3) I duplicated SOURCES/SDL_image-1.2.6/ to SOURCES/mingw32-SDL_image-1.2.6/ 4) I copied SPECS/mingw32-SDL-1.2.13.spec to SPECS/mingw32-SDL_image-1.2.6.spec 5) I edited that new spec file, mostly by looking at existing SDL_image-1.2.6.spec and pulling useful parts from it. tweaking as neccesary. And basically did the same for SDL_mixer. Some notes: I didn't modify anything in the SOURCES folder (just copied whole folders as described above). I used all the patches that were used for the native versions. I commented out lines to install (and build in one case) little executable programs from both packages that I didn't understand the point of. I've cross-compiled my game (vor) which uses both of these libraries, and it works great under wine. (Gets at least 40% better framerate under wine than it does when compiled for linux.) Though I have not tested them on Windows. I have a fedoraproject.org account (so I can edit the wiki and such) but don't have any connections or access or anything to get these into the fedora distrobution. If/when they are ready, I'd love someone to take care of this, or help me do it. Right now I don't even know what the process is. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts/feedback. Take care, - Jason

Things to do for Fedora 12
by Erik van Pienbroek 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

Hi all, In the last few weeks some issues have been raised which haven't been resolved yet. As the development freeze for Fedora 12 is about to happen in just over a month I want to propose a list of tasks which need to be done before the Fedora 12 development freeze (the sooner the better). If you think some items are missing from this list feel free to reply to this message. Update GCC ---------- Kalev Lember posted a message about this earlier today. The GCC version which we currently use is a pre-release of GCC 4.4.0 so it's in desperate need of an update. There's also a bugreport open about this at [1]. Update to libjpeg 7 ------------------- At the moment we've got libjpeg-6 in the repository. This version of libjpeg contains a typedef conflict as mentioned at [2]. Libjpeg-7 got released recently and contains an (incomplete) fix for this problem. To really solve this problem patches are required for libjpeg itself and all dependent packages (libtiff, libjasper and gtk2). More about this in the bugreport at [2]. Rename mingw32-pkg-config to i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config ------------------------------------------------------- Recently there was some discussion on this mailing list about improving the compatibility with wine. One of the issues mentioned there was the lack of a mingw-specific version of pkg-config. Right now we have a script called mingw32-pkg-config, but this script doesn't get used when using './configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32'. Therefore we need to rename the mingw32-pkg-config script to i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config. This change shouldn't introduce any side effects. The corresponding bugreport about this can be found at [3]. The bugreport at [4] may also be related to this. Debuginfo subpackages --------------------- The discussion about this subject was done a while ago [5], but there are still various mingw32 packages which lack debuginfo subpackages. For packagers which didn't read that thread: In order to automatically generate a -debuginfo subpackage you need to add 2 lines to your .spec files: %define __debug_install_post %{_mingw32_debug_install_post} %{_mingw32_debug_package} An example can be found at [6]. It should be doable to perform all these tasks this week. That should give us enough time to test everything before the Fedora 12 development freeze.

Right now if I want to install MSYS under Wine I have two choices: 1) I proceed as in bug 513819 so that the Fedora mingw root is visible under MSYS. Then however I cannot use pkg-config under MSYS. 2) I copy everything from /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw under Wine's c:/mingw, and then I lose all the updates that come through Fedora's package manager. I also have to update the .pc files manually. It's a lose-lose situation, and PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR was meant exactly to support this. --- Additional comment from erik-fedora(a)vanpienbroek.nl on 2009-07-26 18:20:13 EDT --- Why would you want to install MSYS under Wine? MSYS just provides some tools which we already have native on Linux.

I want to make sure that there are no hidden bits in the configure/make files that *only* work when crosscompiling (the typical example is forgetting to quote a variable that could contain Windows \ paths). Besides, the idea of a sysroot is to match *exactly* what would be on the non-native system. I could take the Fedora sysroot and copy it to a real Windows machine, and it should just work. Now instead if I do this and install the Windows version of pkg-config, it will not work because the .pc files contains pointers to the Fedora images. This is not easy to fix (it is a "flag day" bug, you have to fix all packages at once), so it may not have a high priority. But it is serious. --- Additional comment from rjones(a)redhat.com on 2009-07-27 04:53:55 EDT --- (In reply to comment #3) > For testing.

We use NSIS to build installers. And the aim of this project is to free developers from having to use Windows at all, not to allow people to copy binaries onto a Windows machine and continue development there. The *.pc files contain the correct paths for cross-compiling to a Windows host from a Fedora build system, which is precisely the aim of this project. --- Additional comment from pbonzini(a)redhat.com on 2009-07-28 04:36:53 EDT --- Created an attachment (id=355373) --> (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=355373) redhat-rpm-config part of the patch The remaining part is to change the packages to do a change similar to what the patch does to %{_mingw32_makeinstall}. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

mingw32-gcc update
by Kalev Lember 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Hello, I would like to update mingw32-gcc in rawhide to match the version of Fedora's native gcc package. I also think we should track native gcc version more closely; last update was in March 23, which is exactly 6 months ago. If we do the big update now, we should have plenty of time to sort out regressions before the Beta freeze. The license of native gcc package has changed from: GPLv3+ and GPLv2+ with exceptions to: GPLv3+, GPLv3+ with exceptions and GPLv2+ with exceptions I have applied the license change to my copy mingw32-gcc spec file as well, although I should point out that rpmlint thinks the license is not valid: W: invalid-license GPLv3+, GPLv3+ with exceptions I also adopted a trick from native package to change what gcc --version reports. Without that it would say 4.4.2 prerelease, but now it says: $ i686-pc-mingw32-gcc --version i686-pc-mingw32-gcc (GCC) 4.4.1 20090818 (Fedora MinGW 4.4.1-1.fc12) Koji build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1626943 Diff to the mingw32-gcc.spec file (patches are just copied over from the native gcc package): Index: mingw32-gcc.spec =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/pkgs/rpms/mingw32-gcc/devel/mingw32-gcc.spec,v retrieving revision 1.6 diff -u -r1.6 mingw32-gcc.spec --- mingw32-gcc.spec 25 Jul 2009 12:17:32 -0000 1.6 +++ mingw32-gcc.spec 23 Aug 2009 11:14:20 -0000 @@ -1,14 +1,14 @@ -%define __os_install_post /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress %{nil} +%global __os_install_post /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress %{nil} -%define DATE 20090319 -%define SVNREV 144967 +%global DATE 20090818 +%global SVNREV 150873 Name: mingw32-gcc -Version: 4.4.0 -Release: 0.8%{?dist} +Version: 4.4.1 +Release: 1%{?dist} Summary: MinGW Windows cross-compiler (GCC) for C -License: GPLv3+ and GPLv2+ with exceptions +License: GPLv3+, GPLv3+ with exceptions and GPLv2+ with exceptions Group: Development/Languages # We use the same source as Fedora's native gcc. @@ -25,8 +25,6 @@ Patch3: gcc44-ia64-libunwind.patch Patch4: gcc44-java-nomulti.patch Patch5: gcc44-ppc32-retaddr.patch -Patch7: gcc44-pr27898.patch -Patch8: gcc44-pr32139.patch Patch9: gcc44-pr33763.patch Patch10: gcc44-rh330771.patch Patch11: gcc44-rh341221.patch @@ -37,13 +35,15 @@ Patch20: gcc44-libtool-no-rpath.patch Patch21: gcc44-cloog-dl.patch Patch22: gcc44-raw-string.patch -Patch24: gcc44-atom.patch -Patch25: gcc44-pr39226.patch -Patch26: gcc44-power7.patch -Patch27: gcc44-power7-2.patch +Patch24: gcc44-unwind-debug-hook.patch +Patch25: gcc44-power7.patch +Patch26: gcc44-power7-2.patch +Patch27: gcc44-power7-3.patch Patch28: gcc44-pr38757.patch -Patch29: gcc44-pr37959.patch -Patch30: gcc44-memmove-opt.patch +#Patch29: gcc44-libstdc++-docs.patch +Patch30: gcc44-rh503816-1.patch +Patch31: gcc44-rh503816-2.patch +Patch32: gcc44-unique-object.patch BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n) @@ -128,8 +128,6 @@ %patch3 -p0 -b .ia64-libunwind~ %patch4 -p0 -b .java-nomulti~ %patch5 -p0 -b .ppc32-retaddr~ -%patch7 -p0 -b .pr27898~ -%patch8 -p0 -b .pr32139~ %patch9 -p0 -b .pr33763~ %patch10 -p0 -b .rh330771~ %patch11 -p0 -b .rh341221~ @@ -140,13 +138,17 @@ %patch20 -p0 -b .libtool-no-rpath~ %patch21 -p0 -b .cloog-dl~ %patch22 -p0 -b .raw-string~ -%patch24 -p0 -b .atom~ -%patch25 -p0 -b .pr39226~ -%patch26 -p0 -b .power7~ -%patch27 -p0 -b .power7-2~ +%patch24 -p0 -b .unwind-debug-hook~ +%patch25 -p0 -b .power7~ +%patch26 -p0 -b .power7-2~ +%patch27 -p0 -b .power7-3~ %patch28 -p0 -b .pr38757~ -%patch29 -p0 -b .pr37959~ -%patch30 -p0 -b .memmove-opt~ +%patch30 -p0 -b .rh503816-1~ +%patch31 -p0 -b .rh503816-2~ +%patch32 -p0 -b .unique-object~ + +sed -i -e 's/4\.4\.2/%{version}/' gcc/BASE-VER +echo 'Fedora MinGW %{version}-%{release}' > gcc/DEV-PHASE %build @@ -216,7 +218,7 @@ %files -%defattr(-,root,root) +%defattr(-,root,root,-) %{_bindir}/i686-pc-mingw32-gcc %{_bindir}/i686-pc-mingw32-gcc-%{version} %{_bindir}/i686-pc-mingw32-gccbug @@ -253,7 +255,7 @@ %files -n mingw32-cpp -%defattr(-,root,root) +%defattr(-,root,root,-) /lib/i686-pc-mingw32-cpp %{_bindir}/i686-pc-mingw32-cpp %{_mandir}/man1/i686-pc-mingw32-cpp.1* @@ -263,7 +265,7 @@ %files c++ -%defattr(-,root,root) +%defattr(-,root,root,-) %{_bindir}/i686-pc-mingw32-g++ %{_bindir}/i686-pc-mingw32-c++ %{_mandir}/man1/i686-pc-mingw32-g++.1* @@ -275,19 +277,19 @@ %files objc -%defattr(-,root,root) +%defattr(-,root,root,-) %{_libdir}/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/%{version}/include/objc/ %{_libdir}/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/%{version}/libobjc.a %{_libexecdir}/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/%{version}/cc1obj %files objc++ -%defattr(-,root,root) +%defattr(-,root,root,-) %{_libexecdir}/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/%{version}/cc1objplus %files gfortran -%defattr(-,root,root) +%defattr(-,root,root,-) %{_bindir}/i686-pc-mingw32-gfortran %{_mandir}/man1/i686-pc-mingw32-gfortran.1* %{_libdir}/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/%{version}/libgfortran.a @@ -296,6 +298,12 @@ %changelog +* Sun Aug 23 2009 Kalev Lember <kalev(a)smartlink.ee> - 4.4.1-1 +- Update to gcc 4.4.1 20090818 svn 150873. +- Patches taken from native Fedora gcc-4.4.1-6. +- Replaced %%define with %%global and updated %%defattr. +- Changed license to match native Fedora gcc package. + * Sat Jul 25 2009 Fedora Release Engineering <rel-eng(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> - 4.4.0-0.8 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_12_Mass_Rebuild
