Got the entire webapp to build on Windows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Compiling was easy. One line of code had to be #ifdefed out, and the whole
|
||
|
|
rest of the webapp UI just built!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Linking was epic. It seems that I really am runninginto a 32kb command line length
|
||
|
|
limit, which causes the link command to fail on Windows. git-annex with all
|
||
|
|
its bells and whistles enabled is just too big. Filed a
|
||
|
|
[ghc bug report](https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8596), and got back a
|
||
|
|
helpful response about using <http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Response_Files> to
|
||
|
|
work around.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6 hours of slogging through compiling dependencies and fighting with
|
||
|
|
toolchain later, I have managed to link git-annex with the webapp!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The process is not automated yet. While I was able to automate
|
||
|
|
passing gcc a @file with its parameters, gcc then calls collect2, which
|
||
|
|
calls ld, and both are passed too many parameters. I have not found a way
|
||
|
|
to get gcc to generate a response file. So I did it manually. Urgh.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, it crashes on startup with `getAddrInfo` failure. But some more
|
||
|
|
porting is to be expected, now that the windows webapp links.. ;)
