gdiplus.dll, which is required by: /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll is missing from the list of system DLL's in /bin/nsiswrapper.
The nsiswrapper script currently contains a hard-coded list of about 20 system DLL's in the function 'is_windows_system_dll'. This list is too small. According to mingw-crt there are currently about 295 system DLL's for win32 and 1219 system DLL's for win64 (see the mingw-filesystem .spec file for an explanation how this list is generated) Ideally this list should also be used by the function 'is_windows_system_dll' in nsiswrapper. However, as I don't have enough python coding skills to implement this I'm hoping somebody else can implement this.
Why you say 'python'? nsiswrapper is perl script.
My bad, however I'm also unfamiliar with perl so my earlier comment still stands
Where should the list of DLLs be taken from?
(In reply to comment #4) > Where should the list of DLLs be taken from? By which I mean: I don't intend to copy the list into nsiswrapper.pl. The program should be changed so that it looks at some authoritative source (a directory?) to find the list.
Maybe such way: rpm -q --provides mingw32-filesystem | grep '\.dll' | sed "s/mingw32(//" | sed "s/)//" Idea got from mingw-filesystem. Provides: %(sed "s/\(.*\)/mingw64(\1) /g" %{SOURCE17} | tr "\n" " ")
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Bug is still valid for f19/rawhide. Needs someone with perl experience to fix
Thanks Ivan, fixed in Rawhide: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/mingw-nsiswrapper.git/commit/?id=cdb82a6295627d23cfc0b47fdfa15156636364b3
