mlr:./.libs/lt-mlr.c:233: FATAL: couldn't find mlr. #148

Hi John,

I'm wanting to try out miller on windows 7.

I already have a path set for other small executable on my system, so I don't think it's a path problem.

I receive this error when running mlr:

C:\Users\jungle\bin>mlr
mlr:./.libs/lt-mlr.c:233: FATAL: couldn't find mlr.
C:\Users\jungle\bin\mbin>mlr

What am I doing wrong? I am using this build: https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/releases/tag/v5.2.0

johnkerl commented 7 years ago

Bummer! Do you know if this is a 32-bit system or a 64-bit system?

johnkerl commented 7 years ago

What I've been building is definitely 64-bit artifacts

jungle-boogie commented 7 years ago

Hi John,

It's windows 7 64 bit.

Thanks!

jungle-boogie commented 7 years ago

Hi @johnkerl,

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

johnkerl commented 7 years ago

@jungle-boogie I don't know what's going on. I recently got Miller building on Windows despite -- not because of -- any particular Windows knowledge on my part.

What I do have to offer is that in the Appveyor build (analog of Travis build) I can set up some 'build artifacts' associated with the builds. I haven't done this but when I do it'll simplify the flow. (At present, build artifacts for releases are built on a borrowed Windows laptop I'm using.)

jungle-boogie commented 7 years ago

Hi @johnkerl,

Well I'm not attempting to build miller on my windows machine. Do I need additional build tools installed to run miller?

johnkerl commented 7 years ago

@jungle-boogie to build from source you need MSYS2 as the build platform:

http://johnkerl.org/miller/doc/build.html#Windows_(beta)

Otherwise you can use the Appveyor artifacts once I set them up. I don't know of a third option, sadly.

jungle-boogie commented 7 years ago

Hi John,

I'd prefer not to build from source and just use your binary + dlls. What I'm asking/wondering is if I need the build tools to use your binary.

Otherwise, I'll await appveyor to see if that will work.

johnkerl commented 7 years ago

No you shouldn't need MSYS2 to use the binary+DLLs.

Appveyor it is! :)
