The goal of this project is to implement MSYS2 based build process for ASCEND and improve packaging for Mac.

The main task is to improve the ASCEND build processes by creating a new MSYS2 based implementation by modifying and updating the current SCons build files.

The introduction of MSYS2 for the build processes will bring many benefits to ASCEND, such as the possibility to build more easily 64 bit binaries on Windows and to be able to rely on a current gcc compiler suite from MinGW­w64.

In contrast, the current build process has to rely on TDM­GCC (instead of MinGW used with MSYS) to be able to compile 32­bit and 64­bit binaries. MSYS2 would bring many features to the project, such as the possibility to install dependencies in an easy manner and speed up the build process. But most importantly it has much better native Windows API support. Therefore providing a very feature rich and free base for the new build system of ASCEND.

Using MSYS2

MSYS2 is a new generation of MSYS that works with the pacman package manager.

After obtaining the source code, you can install the required pacman package by running the following commands:

It is important to note, that the current version of scons that is being used for the build relies on the msys Python package, that is broken. Therefore it is required to bootstrap an alternative Python, even though scons runs via msys. You may either provide a mingw64 install Python or the native win32 Python installation, by specifying the PYTHON variable to scons.
