@abcfy2 Something went wrong downloading the pre-built rusty_v8.lib.

Try to remove the directory C:\Users\abcfy\AppData\Local\Temp\cargo-installHL2kUR\release\gn_outand try again.

[piscisaureus]

@v3470 i686 windows targets are not supported and never will be supported. Build x64 instead.

Reasons:

• stable rust does not support the "thiscall" calling convention, and it looks like it never will - Tracking issue for the thiscall calling convention rust-lang/rust#42202
• i686 is dead anyway

[piscisaureus]

@abcfy2 I'm closing this issue, feel free to open a new one if this remains a problem.

Does it work when you don't use msys2 and just do it the recommended way?

Install from recommended way is working:

 rustup show
Default host: x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
rustup home:  C:\Users\abcfy\.rustup

stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc (default)
rustc 1.46.0 (04488afe3 2020-08-24)

Seems that x86_64-pc-windows-msvc is working. MSYS2 rust package is building under mingw64, which will cause this failure.

@v3470 i686 windows targets are not supported and never will be supported. Build x64 instead.

Reasons:

• stable rust does not support the "thiscall" calling convention, and it looks like it never will - rust-lang/rust#42202
• i686 is dead anyway

@piscisaureus Hello, I am now using this project to build an experimental program, first thank you very much.

However, I need to build 32-bit products (i686-pc-windows-msvc), I want to know if I use the nightly Rust, is it possible to build successfully (because you said "stable rust does not support the "thiscall" calling convention"), Can you give me some guidance or help?

• i686 is dead anyway

While I agree that stable Rust doesn't support the "syscall" calling convention, I disagree on i686 being dead. Many people rely on old hardware because new hardware can get quite expensive on some countries, which lead them to not be capable of running some software because devs tend to have higher specs and believe some tech is "dead". I understand the reason for Deno not being able to run on i686, but saying it is dead is not a good argument. But again, not criticizing the decision, I understand not supporting i686 because it can get very tricky.

[bnoordhuis]

Our hand is forced here by V8, it doesn't support i686 (i.e., x86 without SSE2.)

x86 with SSE2 still works (for now) but you probably can't build it natively anymore (takes too much memory to link) and cross-compiling V8 is a big hassle.

I don't think there's a big enough user base anymore to make it a worthwhile cost/benefit tradeoff. Architecture support is not a trivial undertaking with V8.
