[SOLVED]Help on Rust cross comping - can't install mingw 64 from aur

Hi everbody,

thanks for help first of all.
I am following the wiki for rust cross compiling, but I am facing issues installing mingw 64.
This is the wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ru … _compiling

I can't get why pacman continues to give me the error of packet not found, when I run pacman -S package with:

• mingw-w64-gcc-base

• mingw-w64-gcc

I have raised a pacman -Syu command and the system is updated.

I have tried also using makepkg on the tarball, but always something like this:

[lupin@pinballwizard mingw-w64-gcc-base]$ [lupin@pinballwizard mingw-w64-gcc-base]$ LC_ALL=C makepkg -si
==> Making package: mingw-w64-gcc-base 10.1.0-1 (Mon Jul 20 15:36:17 2020)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
error: target not found: mingw-w64-binutils
error: target not found: mingw-w64-headers
error: target not found: mingw-w64-headers-bootstrap
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.
==> Missing dependencies:
  -> mingw-w64-binutils
  -> mingw-w64-headers
  -> mingw-w64-headers-bootstrap
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

So basically terminal is saying that pacman can't get the other dependecies:

• mingw-w64-binutils

• mingw-w64-headers

• mingw-w64-headers-bootstrap

I think i am really missing something stupid, so any advice will be great!!

Thanks!

You need to build and install those dependencies yourself.

Start with https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … Repository and follow the links.

Sidenote
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_and_code shows how to get output in english.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Thanks a lot, so I need to make all package manually clear. Will try to do this as soon as I can, and close the the issue.

Thank for the note, I forget I wasn't posting in the italian community, fixed the code part anyway.
