I build my app for win

electronize build /target win

and find 2 folders: bin\Release\net5.0\win-x64 and \bin\Desktop\win-unpacked.

When I run exe from the 1st folder I see the server console only. and if I use query in a browser http://localhost:5000 I see the page but abs not formatted. Ok.

But when run exe form the 2nd folder - I have what I need: desktop app.

When I build

electronize build /target linux I receive only bin\Release\net5.0\linux-x64 and no any desktop . How can I build a Desktop app for linux?

[ZedZipDev]

This is my log. FInally I have a folder: bin\Desktop\linux-unpacked but it contains subfolder \resources only

What I do wrong?

Anybody from Electron.Net team can help?

[ZedZipDev]

Yes, but what is the 51.15.76.176 ? why it is trying to connect? The link https://service.electron.build/ does not exist too. Btw, no these errors when

electronize build /target win

[win32nipuh]

How to fix it? Anybody can help? Or my be it is impossible to build Linux app in WIndows?

[vinnaykulkarni]

@win32nipuh I am not an expert on Electron though, trying to build a Linux app in Windows could be a good idea, try with the Linux subsystem on Windows

@Oleg26Dev If you could mention details about which Linux distribution you are working on would be a more input for the community members to help you, as per my experience the builds do have some variations with different distributions. Also, check if your app is getting built properly without Electron or maybe at baseline, it has some issues.

[ZedZipDev]

@vinaykulkarni89 Yes, but I use Windows+VS2022 and would like to build electronize build /target win electronize build /target osx electronize build /target linux in my OS, also it is declared possibility of the Electron.

[ZedZipDev]

Hello everybody, what about this issue?

[Cav-jj]

I compiled a version on linux using vs Code with the latest Nodejs 18.9.x

can't compile it on windows have to be a linux mashine for it to work on linux

don't know if wsl works

[ZedZipDev]

I have tried again. it repeats: Γ¿» Get "https://service.electron.build/find-build-agent?no-cache=1hdasls": dial tcp 51.15.76.176:443: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

What is it? how to ix it?

[DarioChele]

Hi, maybe you should try to mount a linux distro on a VMBox, then make a new tiny app (lets call it "TestApp") , just for test, copy all the files realted to "TestApp" from your win machine to the Linux VM, and build ur app using the console it in the VM.., and see what happens..

[GregorBiswanger]

🎉🚀 New Electron.NET version 23.6.1 released 🚀🎉

With native Electron 23 and .NET 6 support. Your problem should be fixed here. If you continue to have the problem, please let us know. Please note the correct updating of your API & CLI. Info in the README. Have fun!

[connorsanders1]

I am also having this problem. I updated the CLI to 23.6.1 and when I try to build for Linux on Windows, I get:

ΓÇó cannot get, wait error=Get "https://service.electron.build/find-build-agent?no-cache=1i5lfuj": dial tcp 51.15.76.176:443: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. attempt=0 waitTime=2

Is it not possible to build for Linux on a Windows machine?
