== Compiling Inkscape on Windows with MSYS2 ==
Hi Kris,
I just reverted [[Special:Diff/106786|your change]] in the mentioned article.
It should not be necessary to set any environment variables if you use the proper MinGW shell for building Inkscape (that's one of the nice things of MSYS2 builds compared to our previous devlibs builds). Did you try to build in cmd.exe? As a matter of fact the file "msysenv.sh" will likely go away as part of our "root-dir tidying" efforts unless people are still actively using it (which they probably should not).


== Wiki maintenance ==
Let me know if I missed something or you need help with the MSYS2 build!
Kris, I've noticed that you're spending an inordinate amount of effort blocking accounts of spammers and deleting their handiwork.  Most of them are, no doubt, new accounts, and it's a good bet that many of them are perpetrated by the same bad actors who are logging in with temporary IP addresses that change every time they reboot their ADSL modem.  I recently encountered an interesting technique to cut down on this type of activity at the OpenOffice.org wiki.  (Sorry, you'll need to find the URL yourself, because a half-baked script on this wiki puked when I tried to save this message with a link to the relevant page.)  They've implemented a "cooling-off period" for new accounts and have completely blocked editing by anonymous users.  Anyone can create an account, but one must wait '''four days''' before making the first edit.  If someone has a legitimate reason to be here, they'll make a note of it and come back when the waiting time has expired, but it may be a significant deterrent to hit-and-run spammers.

== New spam ==

I've been editing the wiki in the last couple of days and noticed new user accounts that have been used for the sole purpose of spamming. The accounts and their IP addresses should be blocked and all pages created by them should be deleted.  Since I don't have administrator privileges on this wiki, I replaced the content in pages that I found with the word "SPAM" and put "SPAM" in the edit summary.

Compiling Inkscape on Windows with MSYS2

Hi Kris,

I just reverted your change in the mentioned article.

It should not be necessary to set any environment variables if you use the proper MinGW shell for building Inkscape (that's one of the nice things of MSYS2 builds compared to our previous devlibs builds). Did you try to build in cmd.exe? As a matter of fact the file "msysenv.sh" will likely go away as part of our "root-dir tidying" efforts unless people are still actively using it (which they probably should not).

Let me know if I missed something or you need help with the MSYS2 build!

I am still not able to successfully compile with the new system. If I remember well I'm stuck with the "cmake -G Ninja .." phase, so after a years break, I did not manage to setup the new system and contribute to translating and source code checks with cppcheck.

That's fine. Though it comes as a surprise to have a script for setting the variables. :-)
