Hey @sbhamad
This is a strange error.. Do you have any spaces or non-English characters in your username?
If so, could you attempt to clone the repo to a directory with no spaces or special characters?
Example:

mkdir C:\Source\
cd C:\Source\
git clone https://github.com/travisvroman/kohi.git
cd kohi
build-debug.bat

Thanks for your reply @blake502
Unfortunately, the error still persists as you can see:

C:\sourcecode\kohi>build-debug.bat

Again, this problem happens on my other windows machine also, which is a totally separate machine.

I am doing a default clone, the default branch.

Does the clean.bat give a similar error? It might be a good idea to remove @ECHO OFF from the top of build-all.bat and build-debug.bat just so we can be exactly sure where the errors begin.

[travisvroman]

I would also ask the same thing as blake asks above. Also, are you using Powershell (if so, what version?) or just cmd prompt?

[Drischdaan]

I am having the same issue. I am unable to execute the build scripts. The clean script works without issues. Tried it on powershel (v7) and the normal command prompt. It seems to fail on line 47 of the build-all.bat "make -j -f "Makefile.executable.mak" %ACTION% TARGET=%TARGET% ASSEMBLY=kohi.tools.versiongen"

[travisvroman]

@Drischdaan Do you get any specific error messages?

@Drischdaan Do you get any specific error messages?

I get the same output as @sbhamad. Removing @ech off doesn't give any additional information
