npm install since v3.2.15 broken on windows

[knopkem]

High-level description

Trying to npm install paraviewweb leads to error.

Steps to reproduce

npm install paraviewweb

Detailed behavior

npm ERR! command C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /d /s /c ./config/prebuild.sh
npm ERR! '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Expected behavior

It installs correctly

Environment

• paraviewweb: 3.2.15+
• OS: Windows 10

Looking at the changes since 3.2.14, the new way to install is by calling ./config/prebuild.sh which seems a linux script. Any reason why cutting off cross platform support?

[finetjul]

@jourdain should prebuild.sh be rewritten in js for cross-platform usage ? or should svg-sprite-loader be bumped ?

[jourdain]

The rewrite for cross platform could be good.

For the svg-sprite-loader it might be trickier as some logic may be different in the new loader and make all the svg handling in the code base wrong.

But in general pvw is in maintenance mode and we recommend using vtk.js for any VTK/PV Web integration.

I meet the same problem on the windows10,

npm ERR! command C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /d /s /c ./config/prebuild.sh npm ERR! '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
How to solve it?

[jourdain]

Updating the build process of the library should fix the issue. PR are welcome, but that project is not maintained anymore.
