execv(D:\a\MinXmakeProtobufExample\MinXmakeProtobufExample\build\windows\x64\release\MinExample.exe ) failed(-1073741511)

exit code: -1073741511

maybe some dll are missing or other some errors when running MinExample.exe

xmake cannot get more error info.

possibly, but that would meant that directly executing the program also would crash, which it doesnt, as seen in the linked workflow.

MinExample has crashed.

MinExample has crashed.

only through xmake run, not if called directly.

[waruqi]

run: 'cd dest/bin/ && MinExample.exe'

try running MinExample.exe in build directory directly. do not use xmake install

maybe some package bin path envs are missing when call xmake run

of course directly in the build directly, in this case, libprotobuf.dll is missing there (for the shared kind windows workflows). oddly enough, only the static release mode windows workflows complete the steps and not the other static mode windows workflows.

[SFGrenade]

so while testing i just saw that locally xmake adds: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Team Tools\Performance Tools to path, which i don't see in the CI list of path, though idk what important DLLs there are there

[waruqi]

maybe PATH has been override when call os.execv()

try this patch.

#4986

[SFGrenade]

gets 404 error on install

[SFGrenade]

looking at the install action, it doesn't support branches other than dev & master for windows runners

i see that while the lib folders are there, the bin folders (with the DLLs) are missing

[waruqi]

Try dev branch, it should work. #4986

https://github.com/waruqi/MinXmakeProtobufExample/actions/runs/8735071173

but you need to wait for this ci is finished, it is building xmake/dev artifacts, then try it again. https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake/actions/runs/8735470154

[waruqi]

Does it work now?

[SFGrenade]

Does it work now?

it does work with also with zmqpb, yes!
many thanks!
