Samples are not supported on Windows

[aseidlitz]

The documentation should probably be updated to warn users that samples don't build on Windows due to unsupported dependencies (fs, sh)

[5HT]

we have problems now. just remove ative, fs and sh and it will helps.

[aseidlitz]

Thanks, works like a charm! I had to remove 'mad' as well as it also depends on 'sh'.

[5HT]

But it's not fixed. We need to fix sh and fs compilation under Windows anyway. Thanks for reporting this bug. I reopen it.

[aseidlitz]

Cool! I was able to build fs after re-enabling win32 support in fs_sup.erl and using inotifywait port as a backend (from https://github.com/thekid/inotify-win). Haven't had a chance to actually try if it works yet.

I have same problem with dependency 'sh' when I try run sample on Windows. Erlang/OTP 18.1 I use command from documentation mad deps compile plan repl

Just make sure you have /bin/sh executable in your MinGW environment.

[AstRonin]

Please, help me :) I installed MinGW with MSYS. Now I can run 'sh' from command line, but error doesn't disappeared. What I should write more for fix error?

[5HT]

In MinGW shell type in pwd where sh is placed:

$ mkdir -p /bin
$ cp sh /bin/sh

[AstRonin]

done Maybe I some don't understand... I have: C:\msys\1.0\bin\sh C:\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe and in C:\msys\1.0\bin\bin the same just in case in command line (and msys cmd too) I can run 'sh' but cannot run any variation of bin/sh... mad.bat repeats error...

[5HT]

Definitely you don't understand what you are doing. This is a windows path C:\msys\1.0\bin\sh. Cygwin and MSYS have mount-point of root filesystem. You should ensure that in root folder there is bin folder and sh inside. Just go into cd / and type pwd and ls.

[AstRonin]

Yes, this is it

$ which sh
/bin/sh

[5HT]

Your erlang has another opinion:

escript: exception error: enoent
 called as open_port({spawn_executable,"/bin/sh"},

Just took a Windows machine and everything goes perfect:

Just make C:\bin\sh.exe

[AstRonin]

Thanks, it works :)
