On a Fedora system (and maybe others) there is a wrapper script called
i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config. This script unsets the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
variable and then sets the PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR variable so that it won't
pick up the native system .pc files. This breaks cross compiling in
mingw-fetch-dependencies.sh because it ends up removing its attempts
to set a local search path.
To fix this, the mingw-fetch-dependencies script now generates its own
wrapper script which instead sets PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the local
clutter-cross prefix and then runs the original pkg-config program
from the search path. This should have the same benefit of preventing
it from finding native system .pc files on systems that don't provide
a cross pkg-config. The cross compiling for json-glib and the
recommend args to pass to configure when building clutter are updated
to set the PKG_CONFIG varible to point to this wrapper script.
Since there is very little now left in the env.sh file generated by
mingw-fetch-dependencies.sh it can be removed. What remained (The
CFLAGS="-mms-bitfields" and PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$ROOT_DIR/lib/pkgconfig) can
simply be passed explicitly when calling ./configure.
This removes the use of -mno-cygwin from our generated env.sh for cross
compiling with mingw.
I don't know that anyone is building clutter under cygwin, and our
BuildingClutterOnWindows wiki page only describes building with msys not
cygwin so I think its fair to assume that this build configuration is
untested and thus not supported by us currently. Since the -mno-cygwin
option is deprecated it could well be that there is a better
cross-compilation solution available for cygwin these days if you want
to build programs that don't depend on cygwin libraries.
This remove CXXFLAGS since we don't have any c++ code in Clutter and
also removes the redundant -L$ROOT_DIR/lib from LDFLAGS and
-I$ROOT_DIR/include from CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS. (These should get added by
pkg-config)
This adds some blurb at the end the mingw-fetch-dependencies.sh script
that gives an example of how to go on and build clutter after fetching
all dependencies.
Since Tor does not currently provide win32 binaries for json-glib we
need to cross compile it before we can build clutter. This extends
mingw-fetch-dependencies.sh so it can fetch, unpack and cross-compile
json-glib into the same prefix as the binary dependencies.
It shouldn't be necessary to explicitly override CC,CPP,AR,NM,LD etc in
the env.sh helper script that mingw-fetch-dependencies.sh generates.
Clutter's ./configure script should figure all of those out for us.
This removes the "Do you want to checkout and build Clutter?" option
from the mingw-cross-compile.sh script and renames the script
mingw-fetch-dependencies.sh
As it stands the mingw-cross-compile.sh script isn't enough to fetch all
the dependencies for building clutter, since Tor doesn't provide binaries
for json-glib so the option to checkout and build clutter can't work.
Also it doesn't seem ideal to clone a fresh clutter repo instead of
being able to compile the source of the current repo.
