Browsix Isn't Building (Windows Node.js and cygwin) #45

Open HopperMCS opened 7 years ago

HopperMCS commented 7 years ago

So, I thought I'd take a shot at getting Browsix running on Windows 10 (the first one, summer 2015). Here's the issue as it happened (wish I was on that computer right now). I would put the debug file and the console log here, but it's stored on another computer at the moment.

The issue is when it goes to copy the user's install of node.js, and then apply mods to it. It looks like the same issue from 4.3.x to 7.0.x. The first issue is that it can't find "./http_parser." The next issue is that it can't find "./bin" and all the rest of the files presumably in the Gulpfile.

I was looking at a thread on GitHub that had a similar issue with http_parser across the board (mac, Linux, and Windows).

If anyone can help building with cygwin, please let me know! Thanks in advance.

@MGageMorgan can you post a log of what went wrong? In the meantime, I will look into getting Circle CI setup so that I can make sure builds are regularly building + tests succeeding on Windows.

Thanks for the issue, and sorry for the delay!
