Win: Missing DLLs in dynamic build

[Tomasito665]

It looks like the Windows buildserver is not working properly for dynamic builds. Various dependencies are built in static mode, even though build_environment.bat is given the Dynamic argument. This results in unmet dependencies when compiling Mixxx.

This is my build.bat script for Mixxx: https://pastebin.com/cd1bctuX
And this is the output: https://pastebin.com/RABLSfCY

I ran build_environment.bat x64 ReleaseFastbuild Dynamic, which fails to build dynamic libraries for:

• libid3tag
• libmad
• libopus
• libshout
• libsndfile
• portaudio
• portmidi (porttime)
• protobuf
• pthreads
• rubberband
• sqlite3
• taglib

For completeness, these are the output files in buildserver/lib per dependency.

*(!)  = Static version of library built instead of shared one.

Some of this is actually expected. Certain libraries only have static build configurations (like porttime) and others wouldn't link with Mixxx if built dynamically, so the "Dynamic" flag simply builds what it can dynamically as opposed to everything. As for taglib not producing anything, that's unexpected.

[Pegasus-RPG]

It's also possible some of the batch files are not correctly reading the flag. :)

@Pegasus-RPG Ah, that explains a lot :-) Still though, many of the batch files of the (!) annotated libs expect a DLL, in the sense that there is a copy *.dll %LIB_DIR% command when done compiling. This is true for these libs:

• opus.dll
• opusfile.dll
• libshout.dll
• libsndfile.dll
• portaudio.dll
• portmidi.dll
• porttime.dll
• libprotobuf-lite.dll
• pthread.dll
• rubberband.dll
• sqlite3.dll
• tag.dll

I think that's the case with taglib. I made a small tweak, which solves the problem for me:

... I have a vague memory of doing that by default, instead of only copying if we know it was going to produce a DLL.

@Pegasus-RPG My bad! Taglib does produce something. The list is updated.

[Tomasito665]

Hmm.. I just rebuilt all dependencies from scratch with build_environment.bat x64 ReleaseFastbuild Dynamic. There aren't any unmet dependencies now. Everything seems to compile fine, but I get unresolved external symbol errors from the linker.

Here's the full log: https://pastebin.com/DxdJUsVD
Any idea of what the cause could be?

The __declspec dllimport stuff usually means a dynamic library is trying to be linked statically or vice-versa, I forget exactly. (If you built dynamic dependencies, are you also building Mixxx dynamically?) Otherwise, troubleshooting this takes a lot of trial and error.

Oh, that output may just be for mixxx-test.exe. Do you see mixxx.exe in the build folder?

[Tomasito665]

When building Mixxx I set both staticlibs and staticqt to false. This is my build batch script:

@echo off
SETLOCAL
REM Clean up after old builds.
del /q /f *.exe
rmdir /s /q dist32
rmdir /s /q dist64

REM XP Compatibility requires the v7.1A SDK
REM No quotes needed here!
set MSSDK_DIR=C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.1A

REM this can be either release or debug. For development you want to use debug
set BUILD_TYPE=release

REM This determines if you build a 32bit or 64bit version of mixxx.
REM 32bit = i386, 64bit = amd64
set ARCHITECTURE=amd64

REM set this to the folder where you built the dependencies

SET QTDIR="C:\dev\mixxxdj\buildserver\x64_release-fastbuild_dynamic\build\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.7"

if "%ARCHITECTURE%" == "i386" (
  set TARGET_MACHINE=x86

)

ENDLOCAL

There's no mixxx.exe in the build directory. I think the build fails before building that.

[Tomasito665]

Oh and I also tried to build just mixxx.exe by setting test=0. This is the output:

It looks like these functions:

• __imp_RegCloseKey
• __imp_RegQueryValueExW
• __imp_GetDesktopWindow
• __imp_CharLowerBuffA
• __imp_RegEnumKeyA
• etc ...

are defined in the Windows libraries User32 and Advapi32. These are only added by scons when the static_qt is false, here: https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/blob/master/build/depends.py#L373

@rryan is that correct? Shouldn't these libs be always added, both for static_qt and non-static_qt builds?

[Pegasus-RPG]

It looks like the Scons script needs to be adjusted to add those as dependencies for Portaudio as well.

[Tomasito665]

I could take this up, if that's useful? As soon as everything's working I could do two PRs, one for the buildserver and one for Mixxx.

[Pegasus-RPG]

Sure, if you're willing, that would save us a bunch of time. FYI, we found that adding advapi32 and user32 are only needed for static builds. There are already sections in our Scons scripts for each dependency where there's an if static block that adds whatever extra libraries are needed for that particular library to the linker list, so you should just need to extend that. (What's strange is that you shouldn't need to do that for a dynamic build, so again I wonder if flags are being passed correctly.) If you're switching flags, you may need to delete your .sconsign.dblite and .sconf.temp files to clear Scons' configuration and start fresh. (It's possible previous flags are still hanging around.)
