How to build on a Windows machine?

[InspiringCode]

I tried to run "gradlew :plugin:assemble", it downloads all dependencies and all that stuff but after a while the command prompt just shows the following and nothing happens:

D:\projects\intellij-eta>gradlew :plugin:assemble
Starting a Gradle Daemon, 3 stopped Daemons could not be reused, use --status for details
<=============> 100% CONFIGURING [1m 17s]
> IDLE

I don't know what to do anymore... I would really appreciate any help!

When I run the command with debug logging, the last lines before it hangs infinitely are:

[...]

Hi, i am giving a try in my windows machine and i've got to going a step forward with some changes in the build config: see https://github.com/typelead/intellij-eta/compare/master...jneira:windows?expand=1

However i've got another error involving jflex cause the subtasks related are based in nix shell scripts that should be ported to win cmd/ps: https://github.com/typelead/intellij-eta/blob/master/tools/run-jflex

This might be sufficient enough for running JFlex on Windows. I just inlined the parameters, so ideally this should "just work".

java -jar jflex-1.7.0-SNAPSHOT.jar --skel idea-flex.skeleton --nobak plugin/src/main/java/com/typelead/intellij/plugin/eta/lang/lexer/_EtaSyntaxHighlightingLexer.flex

That script is overly complicated and mostly there as copy-pasta from HaskForce where I need to generate five different lexers.

@carymrobbins thanks! with that version of script the build is going forward

[carymrobbins]

You might be able to use this directly in the build.gradle and remove the run-jflex script altogether.

task runJFlex(type: JavaExec) {
  main = '-jar'
  args = [
    'jflex-1.7.0-SNAPSHOT.jar',
    '--skel',
    'idea-flex.skeleton',
    '--nobak',
    'plugin/src/main/java/com/typelead/intellij/plugin/eta/lang/lexer/_EtaSyntaxHighlightingLexer.flex'
  ]
}

It's completely untested and relies on a hack to easily run jar files from Gradle.

If this works, you'd probably also want to only run it if the generated Java file gets out of date (which is exactly what the script is doing at the if [ "$java_file" -nt "$flex_file" ] part).

Hi all, thank you very much for your helpful answer! After moving the project directory to my C: drive (see typelead/eta#856), the build now fails at the following point:

C:\intellij-eta>gradlew -i :plugin:assemble
