Cerbero Building from Source Error on Windows

Hello,

I want to build gstreamer from source with mingw-w64 on Windows.
I am using MSYS2 for Mingw-w64.
I added all paths for example : Python36, Perl, ...

I am using MSYS2 MINGW64 shell (I tried all shells git bash, cmd, msys2,
everyone gets the same error)

I downloaded Cerbero from https://github.com/GStreamer/cerbero

I wrote these commands
When I in cerbero-master directory I wrote

python ./cerbero-uninstalled -c config/cross-win64.cbc bootstrap
python ./cerbero-uninstalled -c config/win64.cbc bootstrap
python ./cerbero-uninstalled bootstrap
py -3 ./cerbero-uninstalled bootstrap

In Cerbero on github, it tells when I write these commands it will take 1.5
hours. However, I got an error and couldn't solve what it is.

The error:

WARNING: Using default configuration because
C:/Users/admin//.cerbero/cerbero.cbc is missing
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./cerbero-uninstalled", line 9, in <module>
main()
File ".\cerbero\main.py", line 130, in main

self.env = self.get_env(self.prefix, libdir, self.py_prefix)

self._perl_version())
File ".\cerbero\config.py", line 553, in _perl_version
mayor = str(version[0])
IndexError: string index out of range

If you help, it would be appreciated,
Thanks,

Re: Cerbero Building from Source Error on Windows

I have found the solution of this.

I have Python 3.6 and problem is version couldn't be assigned. So I learned
my perl version by writing perl -v

and changed the file

#version = shell.check_call('perl -e "print \"$]\";"')
version = "5.026002"

shell.check_call is working but does not assign the output to version.

This problem is gone. However, after I write

py -3 ./cerbero-uninstalled bootstrap , I have a new big problem.

Error is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./cerbero-uninstalled", line 9, in <module>
main()
File ".\cerbero\main.py", line 130, in main
Main(sys.argv[1:])
File ".\cerbero\main.py", line 55, in __init__
self.run_command()
File ".\cerbero\main.py", line 105, in run_command
res = commands.run(command, self.config, self.args)
File ".\cerbero\commands\__init__.py", line 78, in run
return _commands[command].run(config, args)
File ".\cerbero\commands\bootstrap.py", line 38, in run
bootstrapper.start()
File ".\cerbero\bootstrap\windows.py", line 77, in start
self.msys_mingw_bindir = Path(shutil.which('mingw-get')).parent
File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\pathlib.py", line 983, in __new__
self = cls._from_parts(args, init=False)
File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\pathlib.py", line 658, in _from_parts
drv, root, parts = self._parse_args(args)
File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\pathlib.py", line 642, in _parse_args
a = os.fspath(a)
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType

My directory is at: /c/Users/admin/Desktop/cerbero-master

I am trying to solve the problem but it is taking me lots of hours. Please
update the cerbero.
I couldn't even do bootstrap. Everyone I see on the web says its working. It
is not working now.
Please help if you can.

Thanks,

Re: Cerbero Building from Source Error on Windows

Hi astarakastara,

The main reason why you're having so many issues is because you're not
following the README exactly. Using Cerbero inside MSYS2 is not
tested, and all the problems you have posted so far are because of
that.

Please read the "Windows" section in the README and follow it exactly.
Do not use MSYS2.

Cheers,
Nirbheek

AW: Cerbero Building from Source Error on Windows

Hi,
I'm afraid I don't understand. I installed MinGW with all options enabled and am running from the msys shell exactly the same as I used to for 1.10, 1.12...
