build_dependencies.py script and libvshadow (pyvshadow)

[dnides]

Windows 8.1 x64, running build_dependicies.py script, appears everything completes as expected with the exception of libvshadow (pyvshadow). I do not see the source folder or the MSI in the output directory. I did a search in the msbuild.log for the string "shadow" and did not see any reference to libvshadow (pyvshadow). Does this work for anyone else?

Building libvshadow has worked for me before.

I did a search in the msbuild.log for the string "shadow" and did not see any reference to libvshadow (pyvshadow)

The msbuild.log is recreated per build of an individual dependency (at least those that use msbuild).

What output does the script return to you?

[joachimmetz]

Ping @dnides any additional input?

[dnides]

will try again tomorrow.

Why? You had the original error with the current versions of the scripts. This way you are less likely to reproduce the error. Since I don't have much info to go on, regarding the original report I cannot do much there.

The issue the script reports is:

Failed building: libsigscan

And the msbuild.log file contains a successful libregf build.

[dnides]

Because you said "Moving dependency script to https://github.com/log2timeline/devtools". Assumed this is what you wanted since that's all you said. Do you want me to try the build_dependencies.py script again?

The msbuild.log contains no reference to libsigscan. How can I help you debug why it is failing on libsigscan?

No it was just an FYI that longer term I'll remove the code from plaso and maintain it there.

Not much at the moment, I was more interested in the lack of libvshadow but if the build script did not finish the first time that would explain it.

It likely was skipped. Closing issue this should be fixed now, cannot do anything about the original issue without the corresponding logs.
