Cannot build xed during build TinyInst

[hihijskim]

Hi, I'm trying to use TinyInst but I'm facing some difficulties from building the source code. I have followed exactly what the README said like below.

As you can see from the log, It seems like the makefile is using invalid path while building xed.

FYI, CMake found a valid Python3 and the path is also valid. (as the log says) The python package has been installed by nuget.

Any help?

Which Windows version are you building on?

Have you also dowloaded submodules (which includes Xed) together with TinyInst? If not, run git submodule update --init --recursive from TinyInst directory.

Hi @ifratric , Thanks for the reply. I'm using 1909 Build 18363.418 and submodules are cloned. I think it was the problem with python and its path since I've installed the python by nuget. After I reinstall python with official installer, everything works fine. Thank you.

I'm glad you solved it!
