how can i fix it?

[levlam]

Have you installed gperf and added path to it to the %PATH% environment variable?

[L11R]

@levlam I also have such problem. Did all as said in instruction. gperf is working fine from cmd (of course everywhere, not only in his directory).

[aliakbarhamzeh1378]

@levlam yeah. i install gperf completly

[levlam]

Could you try to manually run from the <path to TDLib sources>/tdutils/generate/ directory command
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass " & gperf -m100 --output-file=auto/mime_type_to_extension.cpp auto/mime_type_to_extension.gperf"?

[L11R]

After installing Windows 10 SDK with VS Build Tools installer it compiled. Don't know what it was.

[L11R]

I can't use it with Golang, so just publish here precompiled binaries, maybe will be usefull for someone:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=17xL9TVWlsuPyok7j6FgZ-BJhsV1ZocjE
MSVC, x64.

[Hamper]

L11R: you build is x32, not x64
From dumpbin /headers tdjson.dll:

FILE HEADER VALUES
             14C machine (x86)

[Hamper]

This is win64 build: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1j2AADHKj2NJi1LrXoC63oPAqlYf09fP5

For build you need gperf in PATH, vcpkg and cmake
If you want build x64 version you need use x64 vcpkg triplet and x64 cmake generator:

.\vcpkg --triplet x64-windows install openssl zlib
[go to td dir]
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:\src\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake -DVC
PKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM=x64 ..
cmake --build . --config Release

[ras0219-msft]

We (vcpkg) should detect VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET correctly, so it should work with just:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=…/vcpkg.cmake -A x64

[isopen]

@ras0219-msft Please tell your colleagues that it's impossible to use windows 10 in the modern world.
For coding in general, a terrible operating system. The speed of my hands is higher than the speed of the operating system.
Please.

[levlam]

Error message, shown when gperf is not found, should be much better in TDLib 1.2.0.
