Godot: UWP Build fails (again) -_-

[Ahmed0425]

Operating system or device - Godot version:
Windows 10 x64 - VS2015 x86 x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt

Issue description:

Building ends with these errors

drivers\windows\dir_access_windows.cpp(223): error C3861: 'GetFileAttributesW': identifier not found
drivers\windows\dir_access_windows.cpp(245): error C3861: 'GetFileAttributesW': identifier not found
drivers\windows\dir_access_windows.cpp(285): error C3861: 'GetFileAttributesW': identifier not found

Steps to reproduce:
used command prompt mentioned above and Angle compiler in the documentation but always ends in these errors at the END of building
I tried to use google angle as well (by mistake) and gave same errors at the BEGINNING of the build process

Link to minimal example project:

What Godot version?

[Ahmed0425]

@akien-mga 3.0 alpha
Another question
which one do you suggest me to use? microsoft angle? or google angle?

[akien-mga]

3.0 alpha

Can you be more specific? Which commit are you compiling?

About the ANGLE version, I don't know, but @vnen would.

[Ahmed0425]

this one 5a6ccce97d350011b599e793cea95aa4e7899395 (latest)

[Ahmed0425]

Didn't read google ANGLE's readme ... this version supports up to OpenGL ES 3.1 only

[vnen]

You should use the Microsoft fork of Angle (I believe it says so in Godot's
documentation).

I used the x86 compiler when I tested. I'll investigate further when I get
home.

[vnen]

Well, I've built current HEAD (f527a69) just fine using the x86 x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt.

[Ahmed0425]

@vnen I looked at the documentation but just to be sure ...
what are the required tools to build godot to uwp platform?

[vnen]

• SCons
• Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 or later (VS2017 untested)
• Windows 10 SDK
• ANGLE source with the ms-master branch. You can also download a prebuilt version here.

The documentation is more descriptive about it.

[Ahmed0425]

@vnen what are the differences between angle and angle 2?

[vnen]

angle-2 is just a newer build.

[Ahmed0425]

I tried to set ANGLE_SRC_PATH to ms-master source code path and visual studio compiled both automatically but gave me those errors when compiling godot
Then I tried to use the prebuilt version that you gave me and also gave same errors
I think I'll try again after fixing the renderer

[Ahmed0425]

@vnen Hey .. I found this article by chance

compile using a simple scons platform=x11 will result in an error. In fact, you need to use scons platform=x11 builtin_openssl=yes use_llvm=yes

I may did something similar because I use "scons platform=uwp" ... what did I miss in this command?

[akien-mga]

You just have to follow the documentation, there is no hidden missing parameter :) http://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/development/compiling/compiling_for_uwp.html

fixed by #8881 (tried only 2017 compilers)
