MSYS2 / Build faild on libs not found when using "eine/setup-msys2@v1" action about setup-msys2 HOT 9 CLOSED

no idea, sorry. I never do static builds.

Possible short answer: add base-devel to the 'install' field.

Longer answer. In v0 with update: true, this action used the default installation available in the virtual environment. That includes several extra packages which are not installed in the official distribution: #23 (comment). In v1, the official distribution is used instead, and no extra packages are installed by default. That's why you need to add base-devel and probably some other.

This also can explain why it took a shot time to execute.

Strictly, execution time difference is not related to this. With v0, almost all the preinstalled packages need to be removed and reinstalled, because the virtual environment is out of date. That's what takes 10 min. When using v1, even if you need to install the same packages, it takes much shorter (1-3 min).

Hi @eine I'm the one that having this issue, thanks @BrightRan that report this problem.

Thanks !

Hi @goshiz! For reference, the packages that are installed by default in v0 but not in v1 are the following: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/master/images/win/scripts/Installers/Install-Msys2.ps1#L56-L63

@eine ,
Thanks for your reply.
I tested as your suggestion that adding base-devel to the install field when using v1, but still get the same errors. See the link below:
https://github.com/ForksForTest/haven-offshore/actions/runs/133155318/workflow#L19

If I missed something, please tell me, thanks.

Hi @BrightRan, on the one hand, https://github.com/ForksForTest/haven-offshore/actions/runs/133155318/workflow#L29-L31 feels strange. I'd add those packages to the install field above. What's the motivation to install them in a separate step? On the other hand, https://github.com/ForksForTest/haven-offshore/runs/764897929?check_suite_focus=true#step:5:409 seems to tell that you are missing development sources. I.e., you might need openssl-devel (headers), and not only openssh (pre-built binaries).

@BrightRan, did you try v2 of this Action?

from setup-msys2.

Hey @eine yes I updated to v2 a few days ago.

It's working fine but for an unknown reason now all my static build are not static anymore...

from setup-msys2.

@goshiz I think I read something about the issue with static builds, which is related to the MSYS2 repos, not to this action. However, I can't find it now. @lazka, any hint?
