How to compile jami on windows

1

Can you please provide instructions for compiling Jami on Windows? Thank you.

Maybe it’s explained in the docs?

https://docs.jami.net/build/dependencies.html#jami-client-qt

in addition to docs, the windows build is currently broken on daemon master, i would recommend to use
this commit
and this commit for the client

Prefer to follow windows instructions.
Also, sometimes the build breaks like your log, but if you try running the same command again it should pass. The build pipeline is under refactoring and we hope it will prevent that kind of error.
