Hi,,

Using latest git. The rakudo does not compile.

Normally when I find an old ticket that says "doesn't build", I'm able to close it out, but not today!

I installed the latest Strawberry Perl 5.24.0.1 (64bit), and used the git bash shell to checkout a copy of rakudo (using the https protocol and setting my http/https proxy env vars).

The configure failed for me in about the same place, because the "install" directory was not created. After manually creating the folder, I reran the original Configure.pl script, which now got to building moar, which then died with​:

"unknown OS 'msys'"

So, two different issues using Strawberry/git bash

I know that jnthn (core developer) works on windows all the time, but uses the MS compiler to build.

So, maybe we can close this out with some documentation updates on our recommend toolchain on windows with strawberry on one side, and the MS tools on the other.

From @stmuk

I used the gcc from Strawberry Perl (SP) successfully to build Rakudo
Star 2016.07 a week or two ago.

I think the first error (equinox) is due to using nmake (Microsoft)
rather the gmake which ships with SP -- you may need to remove nmake
from the PATH.

The second error (Will's) is due to using the bash shell rather than cmd.exe.

This one can probably be closed.
