Cannot build for windows

[Gerolmed]

Im getting the following error when compiling with scons platform=windows.

Running on windows 10.

I have this project located under modules. Im also only getting this while this module is in there.

scons: Reading SConscript files ...

I faced the same problem. This is not compatible with the master branch of godot because they renamed a lot of the classes (for example PoolByteArray to PackedByteArray). To fix it, you need to clone the 3.3 branch specifically:

git clone -b 3.3 https://github.com/godotengine/godot

Another problem is that this can't be compiled with MSVC, you need to use MSYS2.

Download MSYS2 from here: https://www.msys2.org/ Update it with the command pacman -Syuu Install the gcc toolchain with pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain Make sure to add this to your PATH environmental variable: C:\msys64\mingw64\bin

Finally after doing all of this, running scons use_mingw=yes platform=windows worked for me.

The javascript module does not work with MSVC.

This is documented here https://github.com/Geequlim/ECMAScript#developer-notes but it is very easy to miss.

According to https://github.com/Geequlim/ECMAScript/blob/master/.github/workflows/windows_builds.yml it should build on Windows.

Feel free to report back and we can debug.
