Originally created by @elithrar on GitHub (Jun 16, 2019).

Summary: A header file - wil/Common.h - can't be found, even after blowing away the git repo and starting over.

Environment

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18917.1000]

checked out: microsoft/terminal@94bcbb9

Steps to reproduce

  1. Clone the repo
  2. Init submodules as per the README
  3. Kick off the build in PowerShell
➜  git clone https://github.com/microsoft/terminal.git
➜  git submodule update --init --recursive
Submodule 'dep/gsl' (https://github.com/microsoft/gsl) registered for path 'dep/gsl'
Submodule 'dep/wil' (https://github.com/microsoft/wil) registered for path 'dep/wil'
Cloning into '/mnt/c/Users/Gamer/repos/terminal/dep/gsl'...
Cloning into '/mnt/c/Users/Gamer/repos/terminal/dep/wil'...
Submodule path 'dep/gsl': checked out 'b74b286d5e333561b0f1ef1abd18de2606624455'
Submodule path 'dep/wil': checked out 'fbcd1d2abb558da4564ce343b688f7a658f51318'

Import-Module .\tools\OpenConsole.psm1
Set-MsBuildDevEnvironment
Invoke-OpenConsoleBuild

Expected behavior

The solution builds & outputs a binary.

Actual behavior

The header file isn't found. This applies when I attempt to build it directly via VS 2019 as well (with the C++, UWP, C++ plat tools packages auto-installed).

It's hard to debug further (I'm not a native Windows developer), but it doesn't appear to be a git-related issue - the submodule sync is done.

Previous issues related to this seem to be based on users overlooking submodules used here; which (as above) seem to be checked out.

Build FAILED.

Cloning the repository through WSL will enable the “case sensitivity” bit on the working copy. Don’t do that. Use git for Windows.

Still fails - I'd tried that originally.

Interesting! Could you run this?

Figured it out - the case-sensitive part was the hint. I was cloning into WSL_ itself, not git - e.g. where I keep most of my repos - which was setting the flag when Windows was trying to reach into the dir via /mnt/c/....

Re-cloned into the native Windows FS -> was able to build successfully.

(I should know better, but wasn't thinking about that - see the part about not being a native Windows dev!)

Ah! You can reset the case sensitivity for any given directory (not its descendants, just for new things created inside it from Windows) with fsutil file setCaseSensitiveInfo enable|disable, if that helps!
