 @ ./src/converse.js
 @ ./src/entry.js

i followed the document of install 3rd development libraries 😃 maybe webpack configuration wrong ?

Use WSL2 on Windows 10. It is just much easier and you run Linux on the same folders as Windows

We use GNU Make to build files (see the Makefile) and making builds on Windows is not supported.

I think the issue here is that Lerna needs to be run first.

You can try the following:

npm run lerna
npm rebuild node-sass
npm run dev

@jcbrand I am still getting the same issue with the above commands as well as with the make dev command.
