Requirements to build native modules
If you want to build native modules, make sure that the following tools are installed on your system.
- Git for Windows
- Node 14
- Python 3 (if you type 'python' into command prompt it will offer to install it from the windows store)
- Strawberry Perl
- Rustup
- NASM
- Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019 with the following configuration:
- On the Workloads tab:
- Desktop & Mobile -> C++ build tools
- On the Individual components tab:
- MSVC VS 2019 C++ build tools
- Windows 10 SDK (latest version available)
- C++ CMake tools for Windows
- On the Workloads tab:
Once installed make sure all those utilities are accessible in your PATH
.
If you want to be able to build x86 targets from an x64 host install the right toolchain:
rustup toolchain install stable-i686-pc-windows-msvc
rustup target add i686-pc-windows-msvc
In order to load all the C++ utilities installed by Visual Studio you can run the following in a terminal window.
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
You can replace amd64
with x86
depending on your CPU architecture.
