Installing on Windows results in error [BUG]

[nickbe]

The only thing I get when trying to build in windows is a timeout:

go: github.com/andybalholm/brotli@v1.0.0: Get "https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/andybalholm/brotli/@v/v1.0.0.mod": dial tcp 172.217.16.145:443: i/o timeout

Hi! Your issue is not related to ArozOS. This message is generated by the go compiler and it seems like there is an network error occurred when the compiler try to download one of the dependencies.
Please make sure your device have internet access and try again later.

Ah well I know what it is of course.... but this is a developers network with many PC and guys all working exclusively online. So there's no connection problem I'm afraid.

Besides. I did a git clone right before that. Which of course only works with a standing connection 😬

Oh I see, then it might be the problem of the dependencies.
Maybe you can try rebuilding the go module list by deleting the go.mod file and enter the following commands line / terminal at the arozos repo's root folder

go mod init "imuslab.com/arozos"
go mod tidy

This should rebuild the go mod list using go's native module manager. Next, you can try continue the building process with

go build

and see if that error appear again.

Hi @nickbe, any updates on your issue?

[nickbe]

Same thing after go mod init and tidy I'm afraid...

Hi @nickbe , I have done a bit research for you and seems the only explanation is that there are some network issue occurred during the go compiler try to connect to the Github server. I have asked a few different developers to test out the build process and seems all of them didn't encounter your issue mentioned above.

By referencing the post from here and here, you can try to change the Go proxy parameter using the following commands:

go env -w GOPROXY=https://goproxy.cn,direct

or this

export GOPROXY=https://goproxy.io

If this still doesn't work, try another network connection / use your phone's access point when downloading this mod.

Thanks Toby. This in fact worked and the .exe was actually created instantly.
Finally starting to test :)
