The common part in the error messages seems to be "'ﾃ｢ﾂﾂ廬NIT_CWD' is not recognized as an internal or external command,".

Could this error be caused by a locale issue? Any assistance is welcome.

[Ndgt]

I also encountered the same error. In my environment, I found some multibyte characters in C:/Users/<username>/_bazel_<username>/<some>/external/build_bazel_rules_nodejs/internal/npm_install/npm_install.bzl

I guess that the full-width double quotations might cause the "ﾃ｢ﾂﾂ廬NIT_CWD' is not recognized" error. But I have no idea why this happens and whether the characters are a fundamental cause because the npm_install.bzl file seems to be downloaded when the build.

[Godoakos]

@Ndgt nice catch, line 50 and line 51 definitely use unusual quotations. Did you have a chance to try what happens if you change those to the usual " quotations?

[Ndgt]

Yes, I rebuilt after changing to the usual " quotations and encountered the following error.

C:/users/<username>/_bazel_<username>/<some>/external/com_github_gflags_gflags/BUILD:16:30: Executing genrule @com_github_gflags_gflags//:gflags_declare_h failed: (Exit -1): bin failed: error executing command (from target @com_github_gflags_gflags//:gflags_declare_h) C:\msys64\usr\bin -c ...

I think it is necessary to run bazel clean --expunge to remove the entire output base tree and rebuild, so simply modifying the quotation might not make much sense.

Hello @Ndgt ! I have exactly same error. Were you able to resolve this? How did you fix it?

[Ndgt]

Hello @daehwankim112 I still have not find the way the resolve this problem... I checked folder permissions and antivirus, and also ran as administrator, but the error won't be solved.

[daehwankim112]

Hello @Ndgt. I figured it out. I did 2 things. I am not sure which one helped.

I had environment variable BAZEL_SH with value C:\msys64\usr\bin. I changed the value to be C:\msys64\usr\bin\bash.exe and now it is working.

I changed the folder permission of C:\msys64\usr\bin for a user to have full control. Right click bin folder to open properties. Go to security tab. Edit to have a user to have full control of the folder.

Let me know if this does not fix your issue. If my solution did not work for you, I suggest you to start with Bazel hello world from Bazel. If that does work, they come back to mediapipe hello world example. Good luck!

[Ndgt]

Hello @daehwankim112. Sorry for the delayed reply.

The build was successful after fixing the quotation issue and changing the environment variables as you suggested!

Here are the commands I executed.

// clean up
bazel clean --expunge 

// build
bazel build -c opt --define MEDIAPIPE_DISABLE_GPU=1 --action_env PYTHON_BIN_PATH="C:\\Users\\<user name>\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python311\\python.exe" mediapipe/examples/desktop/hello_world

// fix quoations....

// run
bazel run --define MEDIAPIPE_DISABLE_GPU=1 mediapipe/examples/desktop/hello_world:hello_world

Thank you so much!
