sb-check fails on Msys2 64-bit

[Joel Sherrill]

There must be a recent change to msys2 which is breaking things. I installed the 64-bit version from ​https://msys2.github.io/ per the instructions at ​https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/user/hosts/index.html#microsoft-windows

$ ./source-builder/sb-check
error: no hosts defaults found; please add

After adding some prints, I learned this:

$ ./source-builder/sb-check
posix
made it
MSYS_NT-10.0
error: no hosts defaults found; please add

I filled in options.py and windows.py to recognize this as MSYS2. I was then able to run sb-check. But it wasn't happy. Apparently the pacman command in the User's Guide is missing some packages based on newer versions:

$ ./source-builder/sb-check
posix
MSYS_NT-10.0
RTEMS Source Builder - Check, 5 (8b30eb3f440a modified)
error: exe: not found: (__ar) ar
error: exe: not found: (__as) as
error: exe: not found: (__cc) x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc

Environment is not correctly set up

I installed binutils explcitly with pacman and then sb-check is complaining about gcc. I did a find to locate the gcc's installed:

$ find / -name "*gcc.*"

I have just updated my MSYS2 and I am not seeing an issue. Also:

$ ../source-builder/sb-check

My installed gcc is much newer than yours?

Did you follow this procedure ​https://github.com/msys2/msys2/wiki/MSYS2-installation#iii-updating-packages ?

[Joel Sherrill]

This should have been closed. The issue was that my install needed to be updated after the initial install. Apparently, they don't give you the latest version of anything on an initial install.

Closing.
