rtrusso / scp Goto Github PK

If the git/usr/bin binaries are in the path, GNU make will launch git/usr/bin/sh.exe to interpret commands in the makefile, instead of using the Windows build in cmd.exe. There appears to be some kind of issue in sh.exe where it won't pass the arguments to cmd.exe correctly, so cmd.exe obediently drops to a prompt and waits for input.

For now the workaround is to (temporarily) remove that from your PATH and try building again.

I'm looking at some ways to reduce dependencies or use a dependency that is better supported on Windows for the Windows build.

Currently it's not supported but I've started work on a nasmx64 code generator. Right now that is mostly functional but I have work to do on supporting the x64 coding convention on Linux/Windows, as well as more work to do on the runtime library.

In the documentation I've specified the versions of dependency components that were used to test and develop the Linux build and codegen. Those were the current versions on an older release of debian that I used to dev/test the code.

After upgrading to a more recent version of debian, I found that the generated code crashed early during initializing the runtime library.

I don't have this debugged and fixed yet. Core dumps or any other information is appreciated. I'll eventually get some time to root-cause and fix this.
