Windows builds failing

[sfiannaca]

Hi @danemadsen I don't know much about about C++ or C, but I made an attempt, and I managed to manually execute the Windows build.
Maybe my little experience could be useful for troubleshooting

Steps I followed:

1. Delete the 'build' folder.

2. 'git checkout 67a38eb'.

3. Checked this line:
   Platform.isWindows ? 'butler.dll' : libbutler.so')); // android and linux

4. Run 'dart run msix:create'.

5. Now, within 'maid\build\windows\runner\Release', neither 'butler' nor 'llama' dlls were generated.

6. So, switch back to the main branch using 'git checkout f229036'.

7. Re-run 'dart run msix:create'.

8. The build failed, but the dlls were created in the wrong directory:

   • 'maid\build\windows\bin\Release'
     • llama.dll
     • ggml_shared.dll
   • 'maid\build\windows\butler\Release'
     • butler.dll

9. Simply copy these three dlls to 'maid\build\windows\runner\Release' and execute 'maid.exe'

Yeah that's basically the right way to build windows ATM. The problem is I need the DLL's to be generated as part of the maids build process, not a separate build process.

It needs to be this way so I can set up a github action that build windows the same way linux and android are now.

Getting windows working right now is currently a high priority for me but honestly it has me stumpt.

If you arnt familiar with c/c++ i wouldnt recommend you attempt fixing it, Ive already tried contracting people on fiver who are c/c++ experts but nobody knows how to fix it.

Ok yeah i fixed it. Turned out to be a bug with CMake
