Unable to build bare on Windows

[TchaikaBtc]

I am getting error while building bare from source on Windows machine

versions: node: v20.11.0 npm: 10.4.0 bare-dev: 0.7.14

Steps:

1. Clone repo bare
2. npx bare-dev vendor sync
3. npx bare-dev configure [--debug]

Step 3 produces error:

-- Selecting Windows SDK version 10.0.22621.0 to target Windows .
CMake Error at test/fixtures/CMakeLists.txt:9 (execute_process):
  execute_process failed command indexes:

    1: "Child return code: 1"

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
error: spawn() failed

Can you share how you installed node?

@TchaikaBtc Could you try enabling verbose output:

npx bare-dev configure --verbose

Ah, it's the test fixture configuration that's failing! The original error message also mentions test/fixtures/CMakeLists.txt:9. To configure the tests you actually need bare in your path, it's a bit, ehr, recursive.

Try doing npm i -g bare-runtime and then run the configuration again.

[mafintosh]

We should add that to the readme 👍

[TchaikaBtc]

It's working. Thank you 👍

[kasperisager]

Pleasure! I'll add prebuilds for the test addon and check them in to fix that.
