build(windows): add portable release packaging - #268
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pull request adds managed Windows GStreamer setup and packaging, updates Windows workflow caching, adds native Windows process detection, and introduces development build profile behavior with Lisp line-ending normalization. ChangesWindows GStreamer and packaging

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR adds portable Windows build and runtime packaging, but the current dependency scanning can silently create release archives missing required DLLs, while valid SDK path forms may be rejected and non-OS DLLs may be omitted by the System32 filter. These bounded packaging failures should be addressed before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Log the dependencies that the System32 test excludes.
Line 216 treats any DLL name that exists in %SystemRoot%\System32 on the build runner as an OS dependency. Other software on the runner can place non-OS DLLs in that directory. Such a DLL is then omitted from the package, and the application fails to start on a clean user machine. The failure is silent at build time.
Emit a verbose record of every name excluded by this rule so a packaging regression is diagnosable from build logs.

Fail when the dumpbin dependency section is not found.
The parser only collects DLL names after it matches the English string Image has the following dependencies:. If that header is absent, for example with a localized MSVC toolchain or a changed output format, $inDependencies stays $false. The function then returns an empty set, the closure loop finds nothing to copy, and the release ZIP ships without required DLLs. The build reports success.
Assert that the header was found.

Match the managed suffix after separator normalization.
Normalize-RootPath trims trailing separators, but it does not convert / to \. If a caller passes -GStreamerRoot 'C:/work/PFiles64/gstreamer/1.0/msvc_x86_64', the EndsWith($managedGStreamerSuffix, ...) test at Line 113 fails. $extractionTarget stays $null, and setup then throws the "missing root must end with 'PFiles64\gstreamer\1.0\msvc_x86_64'" error for a root that does match the managed layout.
Normalize the separators inside Normalize-RootPath so both comparison and export use one canonical form.

Pull request overview
This PR overhauls Windows release packaging by introducing a single PowerShell entry point (scripts/emacs-build.ps1) that builds the GNU-shaped Neomacs runtime, discovers the executable's DLL closure with MSVC dumpbin, vendors the GStreamer runtime layout beside neomacs.exe, and produces a validated portable ZIP. It reworks setup-windows-gstreamer.ps1 to separate build-time (devel) from runtime GStreamer MSIs and to install into a repo-local PFiles64 layout, adds a self-contained setup contract test, and reuses this flow from CI, release, and installer workflows. It also adds a native Windows process_is_alive probe and a dev/dev-release fast-iteration path in xtask that skips Lisp byte-compilation.
Changes:
- New Windows build/package pipeline (
emacs-build.ps1) plus hardened GStreamer setup and a contract test. - xtask gains a
dev-releaseprofile and skips byte-compilation fordev/dev-release, replacing the previous hard rejection of unoptimized profiles; generated loaddefs get line-ending normalization. - Native Windows
process_is_aliveviaOpenProcess, and CI/release/installer workflows migrated to thePFiles64cache layout.

Issue
Windows builds currently require several manual, environment-specific steps: configuring the GStreamer development SDK, generating the Lisp runtime, and assembling the DLL/plugin layout needed beside
neomacs.exe. Raw Cargo output is not portable, and the CI, release, and installer workflows duplicate parts of this setup. This makes local reproduction and release packaging fragile, especially when runtime-only and development GStreamer files are mixed.Solution
