@sfhacker have not contacted you regarding this issue. I think the issue is specific to windows 7. Msys is unable to access tar. I think it's related to this issue. #15508

zcream · 2021-02-03T14:34:27Z

@sfhacker just saw your post in the other thread. I am indeed the last poster there.

zcream · 2021-02-03T15:21:24Z

This problem only came up with the latest version of vcpkg. Is there a version conflict in the autotools used in vcpkg infrastructure?

EDIT:- I just uninstalled cmake which was installed separately. I'll reinstall it to see if that was the problem.

gettext is already installed.
PS C:\Users\Administrator\vcpkg> .\vcpkg.exe install gettext
Computing installation plan...
The following packages are already installed:
gettext[core]:x64-windows-static -> 0.21
Package gettext:x64-windows-static is already installed

I think vcpkg uses msys as a part of the build.

I use Vs for my build. So its the default settings that vcpkg installs with.

zcream · 2021-02-03T16:17:20Z

I had a separate install of cmake. Which I uninstalled. Then I re-ran bootstrap-vcpkg

I'm back to square one. I have no idea why vcpkg is using msys. I thought it uses that toolchain on its own. Here is the complete dump.

For some progress, I tried to execute that command manually.

C:\Users\Administrator\vcpkg\downloads\tools\msys2\e11fa1e2c730d07f\usr\bin\bash.exe --noprofile --norc --debug -c "autoreconf -vfi"

Get-Command: Cannot bind parameter 'CommandType'. Cannot convert value "autoreconf -vfi" to type "System.Management.Automation.CommandTypes". Error: "Unable to match the identifier name autoreconf -vfi to a valid enumerator name. Specify one of the following enumerator names and try again: Alias, Function, Filter, Cmdlet, ExternalScript, Application, Script, Configuration, All"

At least we know why autoreconf is failing. But I cannot proceed further as I do not understand the build system.

zcream · 2021-02-04T07:11:24Z

There is a version of msys inside vcpkg and another one inside git. I started fresh, I removed the vcpkg folder and uninstalled git. I had the same problem with a fresh install.
The next stage is to try a rollback.

PS C:\vcpkg> .\vcpkg x-history fontconfig
version date vcpkg commit
2.13.1#2 2020-12-14 887fa81c66c37c5ee184ae9cbb40f7ea6fd7bde1

PS C:\vcpkg> git reset 887fa81c66c37c5ee184ae9cbb40f7ea6fd7bde1

Now if I build fontconfig it will still pickup the new version 2.13.1#3

PS C:\vcpkg> .\vcpkg.exe install fontconfig
Computing installation plan...
The following packages will be built and installed:
fontconfig[core]:x64-windows-static -> 2.13.1#3

How do I install a previous version of fontconfig ?

zcream · 2021-02-04T07:15:37Z

@sfhacker I used the command that failed.
C:\Users\Administrator\vcpkg\downloads\tools\msys2\e11fa1e2c730d07f\usr\bin\bash.exe --noprofile --norc --debug -c "autoreconf -vfi"

Get-Command: Cannot bind parameter 'CommandType'.
System.Management.Automation.CommandTypes"

Where is this error message coming from?
It looks like you are mixing toolchains here.
Have you tried other alternatives rather than vcpkg? Hopefully comparing alternatives you can figure out what the issue is.

I am now trying a fresh install.

We have had no issues so far. I don't know what else I can advise. I'm lost.
Perhaps your environment is broken or polluted. Try reinstalling it.

zcream · 2021-02-04T07:24:07Z

#12321 - this method should be documented.

$ mkdir pinned-ports
$ git checkout <copied commit> -- ports/<port-name>
$ mv ports/<port-name> pinned-ports
$ git checkout HEAD -- ports
and then proceed to use vcpkg with the additional flag --overlay-ports=./pinned-ports

I built a previous version of fontconfig and still the same error. Now I will try as a fresh user

Hi @zcream

Thanks for posting this issue.
Sorry for the late response.

autoreconf: Entering directory .'
autoreconf: running: autopoint --force
/usr/bin/autopoint: line 487: tar: command not found
autopoint: *** infrastructure files for version 0.19.8 not found; this is autopoint from GNU gettext-tools 0.19.8.1
autopoint: *** Stop.
autoreconf: autopoint failed with exit status: 1

From the error info you provided above, which is related with your build environment Windows7.

Since it's duplicated to #15508, let's track this issue there.

zcream · 2021-02-04T13:52:52Z

@sfhacker I didnt know it was duplicate when I filed it. I'll definitely take care next time. I'm still working through earlier versions to fix this. I'll post on the other open issue
