Were you able to solve this issue? I am facing same.

[raj5287]

unfortunately no.

The solution for this error is to modify the duckling.cabal file in the project root, change line "regex-pcre >= 0.94.4 && < 0.95" to "regex-pcre-builtin >= 0.94.4 && < 0.95", it should compile then

[bmoore117]

However you will still face issues when running it, as it needs to be built and run under something like MSYS2 or Cygwin, it needs linux stuff like /usr/share/zoneinfo

@raj5287

1. are you on msys2/cygwin?
2. if not, can you try on msys2/cygwin, following the advice of @bmoore117

[chessai]

Closing, since realistically duckling needs to be run on cygwin/msys2, and the regex-pcre-builtin issue has already been resolved

Feel free to re-open if that was not the issue
