setting up msys2 to build the FB manual

[srvaldez]

I was going to post a script that would setup the msys2 toolchain to build both FB and the FB manual, all was going well, after installing msys2 and then installing some needed packages using pacman the script would download and extract the winlibs-gcc-9.3.0 toolchain to the appropriate folder then it would do the same for fbc-1.09 and then download the fbc gitrepo and build FB, the problem was that to build the FB manual you need libcurl and libpcre, pacman would fail to install the needed packages due to conflicting file versions
it would probably been ok if I didn't want to use the winlibs toolchain but I wanted to conform with the official distribution
it easy enough to have a clean minimal toolchain with the required packages to build the FB manual but that defeats my goal of an easy all-in-one solution

[srvaldez]

so my efforts won't be a complete waste here are instructions on how to setup msys2, very simple
here are 2 scripts that will do almost all the work

1: download and install msys2 https://www.msys2.org/
2: launch mingw32.exe and issue the following command: pacman -S wget git p7zip zip make
3: type sh followed by a space then drag&drop make-fb32.txt onto the shell window, press return
after it's finished you will have the freshly built fb, it will be in C:\msys64\tmp\fbc-master
4: move your build out of the tmp folder to get ready to build the 64-bit version, if you don't move it out it will be deleted
5: exit/close the msys32 shell, then launch mingw64.exe
6: type sh followed by a space then drag&drop make-fb64.txt onto the shell window, press return
that will build the 64-bit version
the only thing that the script didn't do is to cleanup libexec, just go there and delete the unneeded files/folders keep cc1.exe and all the dlls except the lto-plugin stuff

mk-fb-manual.txt

if !(test -d /tmp/fbc-master) then
	cd /
	echo 'dummy'>/tmp/dummy.txt
	rm -r /tmp/*

cd doc/fbdoc
make
cd ../makefbhelp
make
cd ../manual
make clean
../fbdoc/fbdoc -refresh -useweb -chm -fbhelp -txt
make HHC=/c/htmlhelp/hhc.exe

to setup the system to build the manual I did from a clean msys2 install, that is before any of the above
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-gcc
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-curl
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-pcre
copy libmySQL.dll.a to msys64/mingw32/lib
copy libmysql.dll msys64/mingw32/bin
copy the 32-bit version of FreeBasic into the appropriate folders in msys64/mingw32
install htmlhelp.exe in c:\htmlhelp
then to make the manual launch mingw32.exe and type sh a space then drag&drop mk-fb-manual.txt onto the shell window, press return
the manual will be created in fbc-master\doc\manual
after that I would rename msys64/mingw32 and msys64/mingw64 to something else and then run the scripts to build FB
to rebuild the manual again I would rename msys64/mingw32 and msys64/mingw64 to mingw32-930 and mingw64-930 and undo the previous rename
I hope that makes sense

Very useful info! Thanks, srvaldez
