What did you do?

Tried to use v help while the executable is under folder with cyrilic characters.
Tried to compile tetris example after moving the executable to C:/CompilationCrap/v folder. The command was v run examples/tetris/tetris.v

What did you expect to see?

Expected to see help
Expected to see no errors and have tetris example running

What did you see instead? 1. C:\Users[REDACTED]\Downloads\v>v help V Error: Unknown help topic provided. Use v help for usage information. 2. gcc: error: C:\Users[REDACTED].vmodules\cache\a0\a084424f774d8f05340437d1c93d0b91.o: No such file or directory gcc: error: C:\Users[REDACTED].vmodules\cache\4a\4a44544dbe66bd1cf288cf0b9ef7e0d1.o: No such file or directory [a lot of = that were removed because markdown engine parses them inadequately] builder error:

C error. This should never happen.

The [REDACTED] folder is a name in cyrillic censored for privacy reasons

The version is the latest one, precompiled, downloaded from the official website

Try doing a clean install. Tell us if you still have the same error.

What does clean install mean? Cloning from git repo and compiling manually?

Feb 12 '21 04:02 KatPurpy

@cbracketdash Nope, same error.

Feb 12 '21 05:02 KatPurpy

@KatPurpy Yes, deleted every download, path, temp file related to V and reinstalling it.

not sure if I did clean it up properly i just copied V from official website but the problem is clearly presence of cyrillic characters

Feb 12 '21 06:02 KatPurpy

by the way i just checked that in fact object files do exist in the directory, it is now clear that the trouble is somewhere with encoding and passing proper argument to gcc

Feb 12 '21 07:02 KatPurpy

Can you try with -cc tcc and see if it has the same problem?

Also, try gcc from https://winlibs.com instead of the msys2 one you have.

@JalonSolov I really doubt that would help since building tetris example fails as well as anything that requires linking to third party libraries is going to use gcc anyway. The other problem I found out that if the current working dir of the compiler contains cyrillic characters it can't do anything
