Bug ID: 405918
Summary: INSTALL instructions don't work
Product: kdiff3
Version: 1.8.x
Platform: MS Windows
OS: MS Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: reeves...@gmail.com
Reporter: ross.boy...@ucsf.edu
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
INSTALL instructions don't work. Build fails to find the first package and
gives up.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Installed craft on Win 10 with MSVC 2017.
2. Followed new INSTALL instructions from
https://cgit.kde.org/kdiff3.git/tree/INSTALL (blob:
88471cbe3d4c11007abf253ee9c60c54ad0a2287).
Since I'd already followed most of the steps (except I did not use Admin
privileges, and CraftRoot was in my local directory hierarchy). This came down
to executing ...
3. Craft --package kdiff3
OBSERVED RESULT
PS C:\Users\rdboylan\Documents\src\CraftRoot> Craft --package kdiff3
Craft : C:\Users\rdboylan\Documents\src\CraftRoot
Version : master
ABI : windows-msvc2017_64-cl
Download directory : C:\Users\rdboylan\Documents\src\CraftRoot\download
===========================================================================
*** Handling package: extragear/kdiff3, action: package ***
*** Action: package for extragear/kdiff3 ***
could not find installed nsis package, 'craft nsis'
Action: package for extragear/kdiff3:master FAILED
*** Craft package failed: extragear/kdiff3 after 1 second ***
PS C:\Users\rdboylan\Documents\src\CraftRoot>
EXPECTED RESULT
Download and build all required packages.
I thought craft would always fetch packages it didn't find; I'm not sure why it
just gave up.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
MSVS 2019 Preview is also on the system.
The craft setup appeared to have been successful, but this is the first time
I've used it for anything other than building itself.
craft has some local modifications to support VS2019; I don't think they are
material for this scenario.
Thank you for providing the INSTALL document in response to my earlier request.
