Building package: mingw-w64-clang

[DavidHVernon]

For reasons that are not ever worth going into, I am trying to rebuild the mingw-w64-clang package with clang 13 rc4. I have never built a package before in my life so I am stumbling in the dark.

Following the very good instructions on this repo, my first step was to rebuild the clang package with no changes. Like so...

makepkg-mingw -sLf --skippgpcheck

When I do this, I get the following output...

==>  MINGW_ARCH: mingw64
  -> Building mingw64...
==> Making package: mingw-w64-clang 12.0.1-5 (Wed, Sep 29, 2021  2:51:48 PM)

And there are no artifacts in the pkg directory.

So in other words it just stops. Is there a next step? Did I miss something in the instructions?

That should be right. I have previously run into issues with --log so maybe try without that? I personally use
MINGW_ARCH=X time makepkg-mingw --noconfirm --noprogressbar --syncdeps --rmdeps --nocheck --cleanbuild -f

(--skippgpcheck isn't necessary if you pre-fetch the keys, which can be done with ../.ci/fetch-validpgpkeys.sh)
