Build Windows version under macOS 10.15 fails.

[cry0m1]

Hi, used nwjs-sdk-v0.41.2-osx-x64.zip and after update to new Catalina macOS (Note: now it supports only 64bit apps) win builds are broken (no App.exe file after build):

Starting building tasks... { tasks: [ [ 'win', 'x64' ] ], concurrent: true }
Building for win, x64 starts...
Error: spawn wine ENOENT

  ]
}
Building for win, x64 ends within 1.10s.

Maybe it tries to spawn 32bit wine? If Yes - it will not work, I tried to install wine from brew - it shows an error with CPU architecture.

Seems to me because of rcedit https://github.com/evshiron/nwjs-builder-phoenix/blob/526564786479740b9013356dceeee90fffec7734/src/lib/Builder.ts#L256 .

calls for

 if (process.platform !== 'win32') {
    args.unshift(rcedit)
    rcedit = 'wine'
    // Supress fixme: stderr log messages
    spawnOptions.env.WINEDEBUG = '-all'
  }

Also I tried to download different x64 versions of https://github.com/electron/rcedit/releases rcedit - does not help.

Greetings,

I haven't used NW.js for years, and I don't have the passion to maintain this project anymore. Sorry for the inconvenience.

To answer your question, Error: spawn wine ENOENT indicates that wine might not be installed, or it's an x86 executable (mine is, which is installed via Homebrew) and Catalina refuses to run it.

I haven't upgraded to Catalina and that's the information I can provide. By the way, wine64 might never work on macOS, read this.

Hi @evshiron, I just tracking this issue here and linked to NWJS repo. You are right. So if no plans to support, just ignore pls.

Hi @evshiron, Does "I don't have the passion to maintain this project anymore" means NWJS is soon to be dead? Which tool would you recommend to us instead of NWjs then ?

Thx

@remi-grumeau, I understand that @evshiron is the creator of nwjs-builder-phoenix, the builder tool for nw.js: that has a different creator (@rogerwang) and is still maintained as far as I know. Or were you asking which builder tool to use?
