Good day.

Thanks for your project.

I am trying to build it from Windows 10, but has an error when i run C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/ninja.exe command:

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

The following steps were taken:

1. Previously installed AndroidStudio and Jdk
2. Console MSYS2 installed
3. Dependencies installed:

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2 \
          mingw-w64-x86_64-ffmpeg
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-make \
          mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc \
          mingw-w64-x86_64-pkg-config \
          mingw-w64-x86_64-meson

4. Then the following commands are executed:
   cd c:/Development/scrcpy/scrcpy-master
c:/msys64/mingw64/bin/meson.exe c:/Development/scrcpy/scrcpy-master/x --buildtype release --strip -Db_lto=true

folders appear in directory x:

and scrcpy-server appear too in server folder:

but, after run
cd x
and
C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/ninja.exe
here the above error appears.

in 'app' directory appears follow files:

in 'a172ced@@scrcpy@exe' directory appears follow files:

Please, tell me, what could be the problem?

cc: fatal error: cannot execute 'cc1': CreateProcess: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

So it does not find cc or cc1. I don't know what cc1 is.

Oh yes:

cc1 is the internal command which takes preprocessed C-language files and converts them to assembly.

Maybe try to export CC=gcc before running ninja?

Use the MinGW32 or MinGW64 environment. See the prompt text, yours is MSYS.

Thanks @Biswa96 👍 It's been a long time since I used msys/mingw on Windows :)

Not sure if I understand. How i can to do this?

I try to run export CC=gcc.
Now, every few launches, I have an even stranger result

If you have installed MSYS2 properly then there will be three icons in Start Menu. Blue one is Mingw64. Or if you want to open the MinGW64 environment in Command Prompt then run this command C:\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd -defterm -no-start -mingw64. Replace -mingw64 with -mingw32 for MinGW32 environment i.e. i686-w64-mingw32 triplet.

I was thinking about adding the MSYS2 GitHub Actions in scrcpy and gnirehtet (and other projects if you want). This may speed up things and provide both x86_64 and i686 PE binaries. But I am not familiar with the other Java part.

It is realy worked! Thank you.
