windows installation fails #25
Comments
Hey Jan! I'm afraid my windows experience is somewhat limited. I'm gonna set up a windows VM right now simply for testing iota. From your error message, it would appear that the build script for termbox-sys is failing which isn't too surprising, as there is no special logic in there to cater for windows. I'm gonna start investigating this now, so hopefully we can get it sorted for you soon! Do you have termbox itself installed from source? Or did you just install rustbox directly with just the |
@gchp Yes I install it using |
@droekm I had similar errors on Ubuntu with docopt crate. What helped me was to install nightly build of Rust. |
@toppy I've installed one of the installers, can this maybe the problem? |
@droekm the rustbox installation has changed a good bit since you would have come across this issue. Could you try installing again and see what happens? |
Not @droekm but was having the same issue - after updating to the most recent nightly (2015-01-05) using the installer, still getting the same error.

Ok, thanks @lachy-xe. I'll dig into this more! |
That I was thinking about writing a termbox implementation in pure Rust, something similar as termbox-go. |
@bombless yeah, its tricky because the termbox C library doesn't work on windows. The Go version does, however. I started writing rustbox as a pure Rust implementation of termbox. That is still my intention, however I've just not had the time to get into it fully just yet. If you want to get involved, I'd welcome your contributions! |
Hey,
currently try to install iota on a Windows (32bit) machine. Have installed everything right, but running
cargo build
returns following error:running on MSYS, also tried from normal command prompt but same error. what can I do?
Regards,
Jan
