cargo build failed on Windows 10

Having the following issue while cargo install:

error: failed to run custom build command for `hotg-runecoral v0.3.10`

Can you re-run the build with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 so we can see a stacktrace?

Based on the error message I'm guessing it is trying to run a program that isn't installed, probably Bazel.

Hi, Are you on Windows 10 ?

Can you double check all these dependencies are installed for you?

• Visual Studio Build tools 2019
• Msys2
• choco install python llvm bazel
• pip install numpy
• rust

On Windows compilation is a little more tricky due to the path size limits ( bazelbuild/bazel#5163 ).
How we workaround this in CI and in local development is by manually building librunecoral first in some location like C:\src\

          mkdir -p dist/include
          mkdir -p dist/lib/windows/x86_64/
          bazel build --config windows //runecoral:runecoral
          cp runecoral/runecoral.h dist/include
          cp bazel-bin/runecoral/runecoral.lib dist/lib/windows/x86_64/

And then setting RUNECORAL_DIST_DIR environment variable to point to that dist dir while compiling rune

Installing Bazel fixed that issue, but still having another issue:

Does it require android ndk as well?

Installed all dependencies mentioned above, but still having issue with Android NDK.
I can not find any instruction about Android NDK in docs.

Ahh I think that's an issue with newer version of bazel. It looks for ANDROID_NDK because we have https://github.com/hotg-ai/librunecoral/blob/master/WORKSPACE#L72 this line. just comment that out and you can build for windows.

I will fix this issue later properly

[IntelMin]

Thanks for commenting.
Anyway, I fixed that issue by setting ANDROID_NDK_HOME system path to my local ndk directory.

Finally, it builds successfully and I am ready to go!
