[bug] Compile on Linux (Debian). Target : Windows

[FabianLars]

I tried this command clang -xc hello.c on a hello world code :

The error is happening after compilation when it tries to create the installer from your app binary. Can you share your tauri.conf.json file? Or at least your productName for now.

I am also having this issue with my SvelteKit application, trying to build for windows on Ubuntu:

[FabianLars]

Hmm, i downloaded your repo and can compile it fine 🤔 Can you rerun it with the -vvv flag? Maybe it tells us a bit more.

[ItsCentric]

Strange, shortly after running the tauri info command it somehow fixed it even though I didn't change anything

[ezawadzki]

Tnaks @FabianLars for your quick reply. Here is my tauri.conf.json :

[ezawadzki]

@FabianLars don't you think it is because of this warning ?
@ItsCentric do you have the same warning ?

[email protected]: clang: warning: unknown argument ignored in clang-cl: '-xc'

[FabianLars]

No, this warning comes from compiling the rust part but the error where it fails is from the nsis installer bundler which happens way after. Also, this warning is "normal" (as in everyone should start seeing it now).

Can you remove the productName and test again? The productName caused issues in cross compiling before so maybe i missed something...

[ezawadzki]

@FabianLars I deleted the key productName in tauri.conf.json. I got the same issue.

[ezawadzki]

Whow ! But I have an .exe ! I will test it.

[ezawadzki]

IT WORKS !

[FabianLars]

Well, the exe should have been there the whole time (if you mean the one in target/release/ not in bundle/nsis/).

That's the rust app the cl warning came from. It can be enough for usecase but for many it isn't as it doesn't support all of Tauris features and won't make sure the webview is installed (not a problem on win11).

[FabianLars]

I'll see if I can reproduce the error on my end today

[FabianLars]

Ah, i see. The No such file error was already fixed on the 1.x branch and will be part of the next release.

You can use it via cargo install tauri-cli --git https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri --branch 1.x before that.
