No output file after attempted conversions

I am looking to convert a 研究社 Yomichan dictionary for potential use with my Kobo. However, I've run into some difficulties.

cargo run kobo_jp_dict -y 研究社 新和英大辞典 第5版.zip dicthtml-ja-en.zip

On running this command in Cygwin, I am met with the following error: image

cargo run kobo_jp_dict -y 研究社 新和英大辞典 第5版.zip

On running this command, I am met with: image

Unlike with the first command, which I based on the example in the readme, this one seems to work(?) in that the program appears to spend roughly 3 minutes doing something—however, at the end of the process, there doesn't seem to be an output file anywhere.

By sorting files by Date Modified in Everything, I'm able to see files such as MARISA-BUILD.EXE-908E7366.pf and KOBO_JP_DICT.EXE-CF27C84A.pf appearing/being accessed while the command is running, which implies to me that the program itself and Marisa are functioning throughout. Whether or not as intended, I'm not sure.

Attempts at troubleshooting so far:

  • Putting quote marks around 研究社 新和英大辞典 第5版.zip — Yields the same result, that is, no output file
  • Trying the process with jmdict_english.zip instead — Same result, no output file

For reference, here are what my file paths look like, in case that might help: image image image image image (Sorry for the image wall, not sure what will and won't be useful.)

Any and all guidance would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Thanks so much for reporting this! As I mentioned over email, I'm rather busy right now. But I'll get to this as soon as I reasonably can (which might be a bit).
