[BusyJay]

The error message has said the failure reason:

Could NOT find Perl (missing: PERL_EXECUTABLE)

Make sure pre-requisites listed in https://github.com/tikv/grpc-rs#prerequisites are all installed.

[blackredscarf]

@BusyJay I install the requirements but get a new error now.

Interesting. What's the compilation environment you are using? What's the output of rustc --print=cfg?

[blackredscarf]

@BusyJay

> rustc --print=cfg
debug_assertions
target_arch="x86_64"
target_endian="little"
target_env="gnu"
target_family="windows"
target_feature="fxsr"
target_feature="sse"
target_feature="sse2"
target_os="windows"
target_pointer_width="64"
target_vendor="pc"
windows

[BusyJay]

You seem to compile it in mingw environment. From what I can see, it should set the flag correctly as target_os is still "windows". @hunterlxt Can you verify it?

@blackredscarf you can also try to compile it using MSVC, which is tested by our CI.

[hunterlxt]

@BusyJay @blackredscarf I will test once my environment is set up

[hunterlxt]

I created a new windows os (2004) and installed:

1. vs builder tools 2019
2. cmake
3. go
4. rust
5. choco install activeperl llvm nasm

Then cargo build succeeded
cc @BusyJay @blackredscarf

[hunterlxt]

It seems that upstream does not provide formal support for mingw.
FYI https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/BUILDING.md#building-with-cmake

You can try to compile grpc-c++ directly following grpc doc, if it can be compiled successfully, I will reopen this issue.
