posix pwd.h and grp.h unapplicable on win32

[MagicalDrizzle]

I have been trying to build this on msys2, but it seems posix applications just doesn't play nice on windows (the two mentioned file not found)
is there a workaround?

Try to build with this ^. If this does not help to compile, no idea. No access to Windows, sorry.

[MagicalDrizzle]

now meson setup itself failed...weird

mm, weird that only the unix line has that...

if conf_data.get('CONFIG_OS_RISCOS')
	subdir('riscos')
endif
if conf_data.get('CONFIG_OS_UNIX') == 1
	subdir('unix')
endif
if conf_data.get('CONFIG_OS_WIN32')
	subdir('win32')
endif

removed == 1 and meson succeed now, though now it's termios.h not found

This ^ way you eventually compile it. If for some problematic header in the meson.build there is conf_data.set10(, try to change it conf_data.set( like in eb226fc.
In case of warnings do as in 27983d6 .

what's the difference between libev and libevent (in the context of elinks)?

[rkd77]

For libev is called libev's emulation of libevent.

seems quickjs detection is being weird...it's right there lol

[rkd77]

Where is located quickjs (folder name), and how is named library. For example show output of ls -l command in this directory.

[MagicalDrizzle]

it's there on the address bar, clang64/lib (i'm using clang)

ls -l /clang64/lib/quickjs
total 13780
-rw-r--r-- 1 Mizuki None 1243134 Mar 15 02:47 libquickjs
-rw-r--r-- 1 Mizuki None 5565186 Mar 28 01:40 libquickjs.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 Mizuki None 7296482 Mar 28 01:40 libquickjs.lto.a

I just compiled the 20210327 release then install it in my clang64/ folder

[rkd77]

You can try insert at the beginning of build script:
export LIBRARY_PATH=/clang64
meson ...
