The Using Rust on Windows page you linked to dates from before rustup replaced the installer as the default option to install Rust. Installers are still available, but you should use rustup if possible, because it makes it easy to update and to use multiple toolchains at once (e.g. stable, beta and nightly). If you … Read more
The following is extracted from a post by Ray Donnelly, a MinGW-w64 contributor. It enlightens on the subject and is essential preamble to my question. There are 3 systems, MSYS2 and 32-bit and 64-bit Native Windows systems. Each system has its own repository of software packages in the MSYS2 distribution. […] that is an important … Read more
Just add a blank line after the summary description of the method, before the description of the parameters: “”” Gtk.EventBox::button-release-event signal handler. :param widget: The clicked widget (The Gtk.EventBox). :param event: Gdk.EventButton object with information regarding the event. :param user_data: The Gtk.LinkButton that should be opened when the Gtk.EventBox is clicked. :return: None “”” Here … Read more
If you would like to use your windows home folder as the home folder for MSYS2, you can edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and write: db_home: windows
No, MSYS2 does not directly support installing old versions of packages. Here are some things you can do though: Look at http://repo.msys2.org/ to see if the version you are looking for happens to still be on the server. It will be deleted eventually but you might get lucky. You can download it and then install … Read more
To inhibit the working directory change from your current directory, set the CHERE_INVOKING environment variable to a non-empty value: “terminal.integrated.env.windows”: { “CHERE_INVOKING”: “1” }, In MSYS login scripts, setting the CHERE_INVOKING variable serves only to prevent a shell from doing a cd “${HOME}”, and nothing else. If you require a MinGW toolchain, set the MSYSTEM … Read more
msys/git is linked against a dynamic library provided by MSYS2 to provide POSIX-to-Windows compatibility (POSIX emulation) in a manner similar to how cygwin does (MSYS2 is forked from cygwin), thus it requires the MSYS2 environment to be present to run. git-for-windows/mingw-w64-x86_64-git on the other hand, is compiled using the MinGW compiler, which performs the translation … Read more
Traditionally MSYS bash has been inferior, but mostly because Cygwin remained under active development whereas MSYS didn’t. MSYS forked from Cygwin version 1.3.3 and never re-synced, whereas MSYS2 resyncs with the Cygwin project regularly. We don’t have a “sweet pacman like package manager”, we have as direct a re-compilation of Arch Linux’s pacman package manager … Read more
I had the same problem. I just restarted my PC and it worked again. It doesn’t help to find reason of problem but at least you can keep on to work.
To run a program in the current directory in bash, you put ./ in front of it. So in your case: $ ./sqlite3.exe When you run sqlite3, bash will look for a program with exactly that name in all directories of the PATH environment variable, which by default includes standard locations for executables like /usr/local/bin … Read more
