Windows build no longer working

[ericflo]

Before #703, it appears that Windows was detected and early returned. In the new code, it's going down a path that invokes os.environ["HOME"] which raises KeyError on Windows:

Same issue here on Windows 10 Pro with AMD CPU.

You may need to run git submodule update --init --recursive;

For those who had it working on windows previously - could you share what LLVM version you are using and any other knowledge it takes to get it building?

[janoschsimon]

any news? i have the same error like ericflo :(

[ptillet]

We're in the middle of merging the Triton rewrite we've been working on for the past 6 months. We'll revisit the issues after it's merged :)

Have run into the same issue. Can we set some value to HOME to bypass this for now?
