Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I just wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe) and found it was in an excellent condition.

Weirdly osx-arm64 seems to link to less libraries than the rest of the architectures.

We're running into https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gobject-introspection/-/merge_requests/433

🤕 glib now depends on gobject-introspection cc @pkgw

[pkgw]

@xhochy Ugh, that's annoying. I see that you've started working on conda-forge/glib-feedstock#174 ... fingers crossed it's easy to get going!

Now running into conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io#2102 (comment)

@xhochy It looks like most of these commits about Windows — do you know about the free official Windows VMs? They help me a lot with being able to figure out some of this stuff without needing to wait for the CI over and over again.

[xhochy]

I know them, but I'm still a bit hesitant to use them. But I think, I have reached a point where I makes sense to use one of them. The actual error we are facing here is that it cannot load a specific DLL during introspection. Sadly, Windows doesn't list the name of the missing DLL.

[pkgw]

@xhochy Argh, I hate it when that happens! It's a hassle to set up a fresh VM (install Miniforge, Git, VS Code, Visual Studio CLI tools...) and figure out the right incantations (you have to do the Visual Studio activation and stuff like conda build -m .ci_support/win_64_.yaml recipe, AFAICT) but it may well be worth it for diagnosing this kind of thing. I forget exactly how to debug the missing-DLL issue, but I think there's a way to get Windows to tell you what the specific problem actually is.

[xhochy]

It is actually related to gdk-pixbuf:

@pkgw Ready for review now 😅

[pkgw]

@xhochy Would you be OK with tidying up the Git history here? In the end the changes look pretty minimal, but there's a lot of back-and-forth in the history as it is.

@pkgw Cleaned up and green
