Re: [Kicad-developers] MSYS2 Dropping 32-bit support

[Mark Roszko]

I am working on a MSVC build chain slowly amongst my ADHD heh.
Though I'm focusing on Win64 builds, Win32 would be trivial. It's just a
measure of how much is it worth it. Microsoft has instituted a complete ban
on 32-bit sales of new PCs a few months ago on their end so wiin32 is
slowly moving towards life support status.

Unless we push the Windows builds over to Visual Studio, this announcement
makes our decision for us.  V6 makes a natural transition point for us,
support-wise as well.

Ah right, as it stands, the only way to use a new install of msys2 32-bit
now is to patch it on startup because the repo keys changed but they no
longer update the 32-bit base package

See: https://www.msys2.org/news/#2020-06-29-new-packagers

But the package versions available on 32-bit are going to begin to
diverge from the 64-bit builds


There may need to be a decision made about continued 32-bit support for
KiCad Windows.

[Kicad-developers] MSYS2 Dropping 32-bit support

[Mark Roszko]

Only just noticed this
https://www.msys2.org/news/#2020-05-17-32-bit-msys2-no-longer-actively-supported


As a whole to KiCad, only 6% of Windows users will be affected.

I did change the website awhile back to more prominently push people onto
64-bit builds.

Just the world finally moving forward with technology :D

Re: [Kicad-developers] Any chance I can get feedback on my merge request?

[Brian Piccioni]

Jon

Thank you for the feedback. I thought WIP meant in process waiting for 
feedback. I was waiting for feedback from Eeli but none was forthcoming.


There was some back and forth about the UI but it has been functional 
for about 5 months.


I'll remove the WIP.

Thanks again. I look forward to comments.

I don't understand the complete lack of interest/feedback. Its more or less 
been hanging for about 4 months.

I try and keep it up to date with master, but it would be nice to have it 
accepted or get the feedback needed to have it accepted.

Thanks.

Thanks Ian. I stand corrected.

Re: [Kicad-developers] Something wrong with Windows nightly builds (1 Aug)?

[Ian McInerney]

No, it isn't a build error that is causing it. If you look at the status
page showing the pipeline results (
https://jenkins.simonrichter.eu/view/KiCad%20Status/job/windows-kicad-msys2-pipeline/),
you'll see the builds finish successfully.

Eeli, can you try downloading the most recent lite build and see which
version string is being reported by the program itself? I downloaded the
log from one of the runs on July 31, and it seems to have downloaded the
most recent commit as of that time and was supposed to have built a package
with "r16610.61c817377". Perhaps that is just contained in the most
recently uploaded package for some reason?

My guess is the packaging script can't handle the "-dirty" being appended
to the KiCad build string. It is being marked as dirty right now due to
https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/5013, and the fix for it is in
https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/merge_requests/318, but I can't apply
the fix until all packaging setups are updated to contain lemon (so I now
know that Windows has it, but OSX and many Linux ones don't).

Hi Eeli,

I assume this was due to what I highlighted in my previous email (
https://www.mail-archive.com/kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net/msg38706.html).
The build was broken for Windows.

I submitted a merge request (
https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/merge_requests/322) which was merged
last night, hence you are only seeing it today.

Thanks.

Roberto.

[Kicad-developers] Something wrong with Windows nightly builds (1 Aug)?

[Eeli Kaikkonen]

[image: image.png]

Something wrong with the Windows nightly builds?

The commit 0c77 is from 30 July, I remember seeing that same commit dated
to 30 and I downloaded it then (the link has different color) and I have it
installed, but now the date is 1 Aug. There seems to be no newer nightly
build available, I think there should be one or two of them.
