Is there any other work needed to do to self-build?

It works here.

Can you run xmake --version to tell me your xmake version?

And run xmake -v --backtrace to get more verbose backtrace info, or please attempt to update the newest version.

Thanks!

Sorry, my mistake

Ok, I push a patch to master and improve error tips in order to locate problem more quickly in future.

I'm trying to let xmake self-build on CIs. But it seems that only Linux could do this.

Branch: TitanSnow:self_build

Build on travisCI, Linux succeeded but Mac OS failed.

Build on appveyor, failed on Windows

[waruqi]

I have fixed self-build on macOS, you can see thee patch d3865a3 from dev branch.

I need modify and rebuild libluajit.a to support vs201x compiler and it only support vs200x compiler now.

Please wait some time. I will fix it in future.

Thanks!

It seems that xmake uses binary library file to satisfy dependencies. Would it be better to build dependencies from source together?

[waruqi]

I will consider this suggestion.

Thanks

[waruqi]

I have fixed it on appveyor, please try the lastest commit from dev branch.

And it build luajit from source codes now.

Looks nice. You have a quick action:smiley:
