Ok, so running "craft kstars" did a lot of things, but eventually the install ended up with an error I can't get over.
My system is Windows 10 x64, using msvc_2017_64-cl as my compiler.

In short, msys install fails (specifically post-qmerge) while running autorebase.bat.

And since msys post-qmerge seems to have failed, running "craft kstars" again results in another error, no doubt due to not completing the msys install completely:

Any ideas how to fix? Perhaps closely related to this: https://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin@cyg ... 55547.html
Although I have no clue how I could possibly revert to a previous library version in Craft. Any wise wizards around?

Ok, found a workaround.

Since I'm building on x64 environment and apparently rebase is done for mingw32 it doesn't matter - I commented out the lines in autorebase.bat, then ran

Code: Select all

craft --post-qmerge dev-utils/msys

to finish the install properly, and then proceeded to

Code: Select all

craft kstars

and now everything finished properly and I had a built and runnable kstars.
