Problems building Darktable for Windows

Tore_Valberg · March 26, 2022, 4:19pm

I am trying to build DT myself for windows, using this guide:

darktable-org/darktable/blob/master/packaging/windows/BUILD.md

To build darktable for the Windows operating system you have two basic options:

A) Native compile using MSYS2

B) Cross compile on Linux

## A) Native compile using MSYS2:
How to make a darktable Windows installer (x64 only):

* Install MSYS2 (instructions and prerequisites can be found on the official website: https://www.msys2.org)

* Start the MSYS terminal and update the base system until no further updates are available by repeating:
    ```bash
    $ pacman -Syu
    ```

* From the MSYS terminal, install x64 developer tools, x86_64 toolchain and git:
    ```bash
    $ pacman -S --needed base-devel intltool git
    $ pacman -S --needed mingw-w64-x86_64-{toolchain,cmake,ninja,nsis}

This file has been truncated. show original

I am following it to the point, " Native compile using MSYS2"

Everything goes well up to the point starting Darktable after installing. And ive tried on two different PCs. Both running Windows 10 21H2, both having Nvidia cards (3080 and 1080) (460.xx and 511.xx studio driver). And the version from Bill Ferguson work just fine. (same for 3.8.1) But for some reason my builds don’t work. Any idea what i may be doing wrong?

When I try starting DT i get (both using installer or start from mingw64, and Generic build):

And here is what the dump says:

this is darktable 3.9.0+839~g97deab213 reporting an exception:

Do you have libharfbuzz installed?

kmilos · March 26, 2022, 7:16pm

Does the nightly build run?

Tore_Valberg · March 26, 2022, 8:07pm

Hah, interesting! No it does not. Exact same error as my build. So guess i should report at GitHub then…

kmilos · March 26, 2022, 11:07pm

Probably the harfbuzz update from 10 days ago then… There is a new version that’ll appear in Msys2 repo in a day or so, so let’s see again then before raising an issue over there.

Bill does not update his Msys2 system so frequently for his insider builds, so they are a bit more stable.

Btw, thanks for catching this - exactly why we have the nightly build, so please keep testing them!

kmilos · March 27, 2022, 3:37pm

harfbuzz-4.1.0-1 is available in the repo now (you’ll need to run pacman -Syu twice, with closing and reopening the MSYS terminal in between), so please try rebuilding now, or the nightly tomorrow (28/3)

Tore_Valberg · March 28, 2022, 12:50pm

Strange, it definitely updated harfuzz. I restarted, deleted, re-cloned and rebuilt. But im still getting same error.

Im just gonna use Bills versions

Update; Nightly from 28th also fails with teh same.

kmilos · March 28, 2022, 12:56pm

Thanks for checking - I might try downgrading manually to harfbuzz 3.4.0 and rebuilding (unless someone beats me to it). If that works, then we probably report upstream…

FYI: harfbuzz packages before 4.x.x are available here and can be manually downloaded and downgraded by pacman -U
