tyduptyler13 / myengine Goto Github PK

Good evening!

I'm really interested in this project (the idea of electron, node and c++ working together). I want to figure out how you put it together and I've been trying to run this project in Windows. But I'm not entirely sure what might be missing.
Here's my process thus far, based on the errors yielded by trying to run npm install:

• install MinGW and add C:\MinGW\bin\ to PATH (so I can use make from cli)
• run npm install -g node-gyp
• run npm --add-python-to-path='true' --debug install --global windows-build-tools (because gyp wasn't finding python - this way it installs 2.7 and so on)
• git submodule update --init --recursive (to install git submodules. git submodule init didn't really work, maybe due to my git version)

With the above, the result of running npm install still yields the following error:
gyp: Dependency 'build.gyp:glsl-optimizer#target' not found while trying to load target build.gyp:MyEngine#target

Running node-gyp configure build directly yields the same result.

What should I do to install it?

Maybe we can use this fresh attempt to make a step-by-step windows build guide of the project 😄

Currently the windows build is delayed by this issue.

When this is resolved, we can start releasing windows builds.
