v1.0.0 Unable to make/build file on Windows

See original GitHub issue

Hi, my conversejs 1.0.0 getting error when build the file. My step:

make -f makefile.win
test run on visual studio, get error, but I skip it, and it run without problem.
make -f makefile.win build

But step 3 I get :

node_modules\.bin\grunt.cmd touch:npm
Warning: Task "touch:npm" not found. Use --force to continue.
Aborted due to warnings.

I try to build previous version 0.10.1, no problem with that. Can help me? how to solve it? Thanks.

A workaround for this is to install Bash on Ubuntu on Windows. Via a command line, enter your new bash installation (it may ask you to make a user first, if so, do it): bash Then install nodejs from the node PPA and ruby. curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x -o nodesource_setup.sh sudo bash nodesource_setup.sh sudo apt-get install nodejs ruby-full git

Checkout the project and build it: git clone https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js.git cd converse.js npm install make dist

This particular sequence of events got the project compiling for me. Note that to get make serve to work, should you want to view the mockups, you will need to opt-in to the Windows Insider builds Fast Ring and run Windows Update first. This is because only the most recent Linux improvements in Windows implement the necessary networking interfaces to run the http server. These updates will be rolled into the “Creator’s Update” in April 2017.
