Failure to build on Julia 0.7, Windows 7 x64

[RodolfoFigueroa]

Cairo refuses to build on julia 0.7.0, running on Windows 7 x86_64-w64-mingw32. This is the package manager output:

I am aware of similar issues like #261. However, there are no conflicting directories in the PATH environment variable.

[dawbarton]

I'm also getting this problem on Win 7 (I've checked the paths as well). Any suggestions as to a workaround?

[lobingera]

Just by looking at this, i get the impression that libpangocairo isn't included in libpango-1_0-0 (anymore).

[lobingera]

@RodolfoFigueroa @dawbarton I restarted yesterday the appveyor testing, and get success for julia 0.7 and latest. So i'm a little bit lost to recreate the failure (i don't have win7 computer available).
Could you please run and report the output.

using WinRPM
WinRPM.search("cairo", "mingw32")
WinRPM.search("pango", mingw32")

[dawbarton]

Unfortunately I get an error with the WinRPM.search function -

Afterwards, libpangocairo-1.0-0.dll appears in the deps/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/ directory despite the fact it claims the dependencies aren't satisfied.

[lobingera]

It might make sense to file an issue to https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/WinRPM.jl about this and the non-working search.

If the .dll-s are in place you can still can create manually a deps/deps.jl

lobi@orange4:~/.julia/v0.6/Cairo/deps$ cat deps.jl 
# This is an auto-generated file; do not edit and do not check-in to version control

              "re-run Pkg.build(package), and restart Julia.")
    end

[lobingera]

@RodolfoFigueroa @dawbarton
Did you make progress on that?

[arjunae]

Hi @lobingera, thanks for that hint. Im a julia new user trying to build cairo. (but on Julia1.02/Win10)
Just tried the above approach with:
WinRPM.install("libpango-1_0-0") WinRPM.install("libcairo-gobject2") (libcairo2)

After that, i just copied the files from WinRPMs deps Folder into an easy to reach Destination:

D:\
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
-a---- 27.10.2018 00:37 889699 libcairo-2.dll
-a---- 27.10.2018 00:37 30997 libcairo-gobject-2.dll
-a---- 27.10.2018 00:13 301040 libgobject-2.0-0.dll
-a---- 27.10.2018 00:41 260380 libpango-1.0-0.dll

using the following deps:

# Load dependencies
@checked_lib _jl_libgobject "D:\\libgobject-2.0-0.dll"
@checked_lib _jl_libcairo "D:\\libcairo-2.dll"
@checked_lib _jl_libpango "D:\\libpango-1.0-0.dll"
@checked_lib _jl_libpangocairo "D:\\libpangocairo-1.0-0.dll"

currently without success. test Cairo gives:

ERROR: LoadError: LoadError: LoadError: Unable to load _jl_libgobject (D:\libgobject-2.0-0.dll)

Update; Test with plain Libdl.dlopen (downloaded from WinRPM)
libintl-8.dll - OK.
julia> Libdl.dlopen("C:\\Users\\Tho\\Desktop\\libintl-8.dll")
Ptr{Nothing} @0x61ec0000

libcairo-2.dll - baZing-
julia> Libdl.dlopen("C:\\Users\\Tho\\Desktop\\libcairo-2.dll")
ERROR: could not load library "C:\Users\Tho\Desktop\libcairo-2.dll"

This even fails when using libcairo copied from a MSYS mingw32 Inst:
julia> Libdl.dlopen("C:\\Users\\Tho\\Desktop\\msys\\libcairo-2.dll")
ERROR: could not load library "C:\Users\Tho\Desktop\new\libcairo-2.dll"

Hm.. Im unsure where my mistake is at that point.
But it seems to me - we have some sort of Linking Problems here.
On a future rainy day ill trying to compile libcairo locally - but i dont think that will help much...
https://www.cairographics.org/end_to_end_build_for_win32/
Any Ideas are appreciated :)

regards, Thorsten

[lobingera]

I'm not a windows user (somehow at work, but not a developer). The fail of dlopen on libcairo might mean that not all dependencies are fullfilled.

[arjunae]

Yo - confirmed - Current MinGW installations switched exception handling to SEH. The binaries found with WinRPM use SJLJ and such have unfilled dependencies.
https://www.gtk.org/download/windows.php recommends to use Binaries fetched via MSYS pacman.
strange - trying to use them with julia also failed -but i didnt search for the exact reason.
Instead i just searched for a prebuild set (gtk+-bundle_3.6.4-20130513_win32.zip) which finally worked for me.

so thanks for the hint - Tho

[saArbabi]

@arjunae could you please explain what you did with the prebuild set you mentioned? I am having the same issue (on Julia0.6/Windows7) when trying to build Cairo. Below is the error message:

LoadError: Provider WinRPM.RPM failed to satisfy dependency pangocairo
Thanks

[iuliancioarca]

Hi, @saArbabi! I had the same issue on Julia v1.0.2(JuliaPRO bundle)/Windows 7. I managed to make it work by downloading the "gtk+-bundle_3.6.4-20130513_win32.zip" as @arjunae said (first result on google search) and replacing the files in ".juliapro\packages\WinRPM\Y9QdZ\deps\usr\x86_64-w64-mingw32\sys-root\mingw".
Then I rebuilt everything and it worked.
I actually needed to use Gtk, so I still had some errors. I manually created the "deps/deps.jl" file that @lobingera suggested. Everything works now.
It is strange that I did not encounter any of these issues on a Windows10 machine.
Sorry for not being more specific about the steps, I am a beginner with Julia/programming and the replace-build-create files steps were trial and error.

Thanks again to @lobingera and @arjunae !

[kota-toku]

@iuliancioarca Hey Iulian, I am having exactly the same problem and am wondering what you mean by "rebuilt everything" at the end?

I download the GTK+ bundle, overwrite all the files in .juliapro\packages\WinRPM\Y9QdZ\deps\usr\x86_64-w64-mingw32\sys-root\mingw

(On my system it is just .julia\packages...), I guess I'm not using julia pro?

Then, I put the deps.jl file in the .julia/v0.6/Cairo/deps directory.

And run e.g. Pkg.build("Cairo"), it still fails with error

LoadError: Provider WinRPM.RPM failed to satisfy dependency pangocairo
while loading C:\Users\tokuoka\.julia\v0.6\Cairo\deps\build.jl, in expression st
arting on line 165

Any help would be appreciated (e.g. what commands you ran exactly...)
Thank you in advance!

[iuliancioarca]

Hi @kota-toku, I don't remember exactly the steps, but I remember I rebuilt WinRPM, Cairo and Gtk. Please let me know if this solves the problem. If not, I will try to retrace my steps.

[iuliancioarca]

In the meantime I was forced to reinstall JuliaPRO(v1.0.2) on Win7_64. The steps to fix Cairo/Gtk error are the following:

• add Gtk -> this will fail building Cairo and Gtk
• download gtk+-bundle_3.6.4-20130513_win64 (this time I downloaded the win64 version)
• copy the contents of gtk+-bundle to .juliapro\packages\WinRPM\Y9QdZ\deps\usr\x86_64-w64-mingw32\sys-root\mingw
• build Gtk
• using Gtk -> should precompile with some warnings
  Cairo should work as well

• It seems that deps.jl was not needed.

Best regards,

Iulian

[kota-toku]

Thanks for the details. I succeeded in building Cairo and Gtk on Julia1.1.0 (not PRO) / Win7.
Thanks again @iuliancioarca !

[rikhuijzer]

This thread got ImageView working for me on Windows 10 64-bit with Julia 1.1.0.

I would like to add to this discussion that building takes a while. Building WinRPM and Cairo takes a few minutes (during this ...\deps\build.log is empty).
