Windows gclient sync error

[Jason239]

Up to 2.5.1 version was downloaded without any problems, but from 2.6.0 version, the out/ folder is not created with the following error message.

________ running 'sed -e s/<!pymod_do_main(compiler_version target assembler)/0/ -i.bk src/packager/build/common.gypi' in 'D:\works\shaka_packager'
'sed'��(��) ���� ���� ���� ����, ������ �� ���� ��������, ����

Error: Command 'sed -e s/<!pymod_do_main(compiler_version target assembler)/0/ -i.bk src/packager/build/common.gypi' returned non-zero exit status 1 in D:\works\shaka_packager

It works fine on Linux OS, but not on Windows (10).
I just tried to get the source after installing depot_tools. Of course, the 'gclient runhooks' doesn't work either.

Is there any solution I can try?

Apologies for the trouble.

If you try building from a cygwin environment, the sed command should work. I know cygwin is a painful workaround, though.

The ultimate solution to this will be #1047 to replace the build system.

It's okay and I got it, thanks :)

gclient is going away, as part of a migration to CMake and git submodules. If you would like to help with this effort, please see #1047 (comment) to volunteer. Thanks!

No longer an issue in the cmake branch, which we will merge to main soon.
