Can not cargo build --release on Windows 10.

[sinistersnare]

Hi, I am trying to use the after-dark theme, but I am getting an issue that is supposed to be fixed in Next (#185). I was using Scoop to install Gutenberg, but now I have to try to install from source. So I tried to, and it will not build.

Here is a Gist of the error: https://gist.github.com/sinistersnare/0fef7b9e02da2169313fbf6c6fcbee2c

It looks like it is having trouble compiling onig-sys and sass-sys. Are these supposed to work on Windows?

[piedoom]

I had trouble compiling on windows as well, even after trying basically every version of MS build tools. I'm not good enough at windows to know what the problem might be but I have had a similar experience.

It does work on Windows (not sure which version though) as AppVeyor is testing/compiling the binaries for it.
I don't have a windows machine to see exactly what is needed though but you can look at the appveyor.yml file of each repo to see how it is setup.
The first error looks like nmake is missing so installing it somehow should fix the issue.
I'm not entirely sure what's happening with sass-sys though. You can try building it manually, the libsass docs are https://github.com/sass/libsass/blob/c943792a6e64468b66f226504a47a8160cbd2d08/docs/build.md#building-on-windows-experimental to see what is missing/errors.

We have the same issue on cobalt.rs, and we solved it by adding C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\amd64\ (or the correct one for you architecture) in the PATH for onig_sys and installing https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-8-1-sdk for sass-sys

with these, compilation is fine, but linking is failing:

error: linking with `link.exe` failed: exit code: 1120

[Geobert]

We solved the linking issue by calling call "%VS140COMNTOOLS%\..\..\VC\vcvarsall.bat" amd64 and deleting .cargo/registry but it does not work in release mode for some reason, debug builds fine

[Keats]

Did you manage to make it work?

[Geobert]

I haven't tried --release since my last comment but we needed to switch to VS 2017 on appveyor to make everything work, see the PR cobalt-org/cobalt.rs#352

[sinistersnare]

I have not tried to get it working, I am planning on working on it more when I get back to mac-based development. I guess this can be closed if you would like.

[Keats]

Looks like syntect is eventually going to switch to fancy-regex, a pure rust alternative to oniguruma so that would solve one part (trishume/syntect#34).
Not sure what can be done for sass-sys though

[Geobert]

For sass, I had this error:

But I managed to compile it by installing VS community, open the sln, accept the upgrade of the project to toolset v140, close VS, cargo build.

needed this as well: call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"

[Keats]

Closing for now, but if someone wants to write a blurb in the docs on how to compile it on windows, that would be appreciated!

[CGMossa]

I'm trying to compile zola on windows, and I'm seeing issues like this.

[Keats]

Building on Windows is a pain due to libsass. Looking forward to the day I can close #1535 and forget about Windows & libsass issues.

[CGMossa]

Thanks for the answer. I'll do some tinkering, but otherwise this is very daunting :(

[CGMossa]

I found out that I had to install

• Windows 8.1 SDK
• Universal CRT SDK

When building using msvc on Windows.

This works for now.
