Building the windows installer

[aknobbe]

Hi everyone,
I get the following error when i want to build the windows installer of the client 2.3

Step 7 : RUN zypper --non-interactive --gpg-auto-import-keys ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw/openSUSE_42.1/windows:mingw.repo
—> Running in f5cb05d4191b
File ‘/repositories/windows:/mingw/openSUSE_42.1/windows:mingw.repo’ not found on medium ‘http://download.opensuse.org/’

Problem encountered while trying to read the file at the specified URI:
ABORT request: Aborting requested by user
Abort, retry, ignore? a/r/i/? shows all options: a
The command ‘/bin/sh -c zypper --non-interactive --gpg-auto-import-keys ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw/openSUSE_42.1/windows:mingw.repo’ returned a non-zero code: 4

Can anyone help me with this issue?
I am using OpenSuse_Leap 42.1

Hey @aknobbe! The cross-compilation image for windows installers was recently updated (see Add correct RPM repo and updated README instructions by tboerger · Pull Request #1 · guruz/docker-ownCloud-client-win32 · GitHub) to update openSUSE’s 42.1 references to its new name precisely to prevent what you’re seeing. Run docker pull guruz/docker-owncloud-client-win32 to test it out!

Hope it helps!

Hi alfageme,

Thank you for your reply.
I did the test with the new docker,

Just to be sure, i run the following command after pulling the docker:
sudo docker run -v “$PWD:/home/user/client” guruz/docker-owncloud-client-win32 /home/user/client/admin/win/docker/build.sh client/ $(id -u)

After the .exe is build and i run this in Windows the installation goes great.
When i run the client i get the following errors:

Entry Point Not Found : The procedure entry point __divmoddi4 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files (x86)\Boxu\icui18n56.dll.
And
Application popup: Boxu.exe - Entry Point Not Found : The procedure entry point __divmoddi4 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files (x86)\Boxu\Qt5Gui.dll.

@aknobbe hm… just checked and indeed something’s looking wrong on the generated installers. We’re trying to determine what’s failing in the toolchain used in the compilation. In the meantime, I’ve uploaded an snapshot I have from the old image to https://hub.docker.com/r/alfageme/docker-owncloud-client-win32/ (use docker pull alfageme/docker-owncloud-client-win32:snapshot)

Could you verify this one works? Thanks!

@alfageme

pull alfageme/docker-owncloud-client-win32:snapshot

Hi alfageme, i can’t get this docker image started

[alfageme]

@aknobbe you sure? I just tried pulling it:

… and built the client inside it without trouble

I have it running.

At the end of the build i get the following error:

@aknobbe try using administration/jenkins/win32_build/compile_client.sh at master · owncloud/administration · GitHub
rather than https://github.com/owncloud/client/blob/master/admin/win/docker/build.sh. I think that script might be a bit outdated/incomplete. I wrote some instructions in the past here:

Error using docker to build the windows client

Hi @eointiereney! Thanks for the insterest in the development of owncloud and its documentation I might be able to help you with this, since I was messing around with this image just some days ago and it's kind of tricky since there's actually not many docs about this. From your messages I'm assuming you are using @DeepDiver1975's docker-owncloud-client-win32 image, and you already have a container up and running (named e.g. docker-owncloud-client-win32) . From the host machine: C…

P.S. Are you trying to apply some theming? maybe something there is causing makensis to fail - what does NSISOutput.log say?

[aknobbe]

Great, i have made my first windows client
Thank you very much for your support alfageme

One other question, i am not sure this is related but when i install the new client there is an issue with the Windows Explorer integration.

I can fix it after running below in CMD and restart the computer.

regsvr32.exe “C:\Program Files (x86)\MyAppName\shellext\OCOverlays_x64.dll”

It seems like the client is not registering the dll

Missing sync-icons in windows explorer

Small correction, i need to restart my computer withoud the command and then it works to.
