duplicity on MSYS2

Currently the duplicity backup tool is not available in the MSYS2 pacman repository. These are the steps to install it via the Python PIP package manager:

pacman -S base-devel gcc vim cmake
pacman -S libbz2-devel zlib-devel libcrypt-devel

duplicity needs librsync, which is not in the pacman repository, so we have to build it ourselves:

build librsync

 ~/work/librsync-2.3.1

cmake .

make

make test

make install

Install the project...

get pip and install duplicity

Make pip find librsync:

export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include


curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

python get-pip.py

pip install setuptools_scm

pip3 install duplicity

Hi!

Nowadays, it's a piece of cake to install librsync, python and pip:

cd ~
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-librsync python python-pip
export LDFLAGS=-L/mingw64/lib
export CPPFLAGS=-I/mingw64/include
pip install duplicity

Regards!
