Hi,

This is caused by msys2/MINGW-packages#10761.
The only fix I'm aware of is to disable the usage of -isystem and rely on -I instead.

You can do this by disabling the package.include_external_headers:n policy.
xmake config --mode=releasedbg --policies=package.include_external_headers:n

this is what's done on the MinGW CI

It doesn't work!

This is a whole different error.

Could you try to run xmake config --mode=releasedbg --policies=package.include_external_headers:n -vD and send the full log here to help debug it?

Also, if you don't need assimp for now you can disable it with --assimp=n

xmake has native support for msys2, my solution is use pacman packages to speed up the build process and also as a workaround for this problem. Sometimes, the software doesn't compile out of the box and needs the msys2 maintainer to patch it. Most of the time, mixing packaging systems will result in errors like this. I still remember my misery with libarchive and pkgsrc (pkgsrc uses it own patched libarchive, but on the bootstrap process it links with the system's libarchive even though I passed option to force it to prefer it own version libarchive). Yeah, this is on FreeBSD but I learned the lesson (I have never able to have pkgsrc works on FreeBSD because of this problem).

Long story short, when it ask you please input: y (y/n/m), choose m and manually force it to use pacman packages instead of building it own.

It works well on the MinGW/msys2 CI, I'd like to know why it's failing for you.

Closed since user deleted their account and lacking info to reproduce.

[waruqi]

I have improved it. xmake-io/xmake@35dd6cb

Thank you! I will test this
