Question

Hi I m trying to use package builder to build a windows launcher package I ve installed wixtoolset git make and golang via choco on a windows 10 machine make deps completes successfully with a warning about possibly not having the latest version for tuf but I m assuming this isn t a show stopper ```Reading makefiles Updating makefiles Updating goal targets File deps does not exist File deps go does not exist Must remake target deps go go run cmd make make go targets=deps go install tools Successfully remade target file deps go File generate does not exist Must remake target generate go generate pkg packagekit pkg packaging go run cmd make make go targets=generate tuf time= 2020 02 25T10 59 58 05 00 level=warning msg= Error while downloading remote metadata using cached timestamp this might not be the latest version available remotely Successfully remade target file generate Must remake target deps Successfully remade target file deps ``` Then attempting to run make package builder gives the following output ```c Users jfeat go src <http github com|github com> kolide launcher gt make package builder go run cmd make make go targets=deps go install tools go generate pkg packagekit pkg packaging go run cmd make make go targets=generate tuf go run cmd make make go targets=package builder linkstamp ts=2020 02 25T16 17 05 0493957Z caller=logutil go 13 severity=info msg= Target Failed err= getVersion git describe run command git describe tags always dirty stderr= exec git executable file not found in PATH target=package builder exit status 1 make Makefile 105 package builder Error 1``` Can anyone suggest what the problem might be

Just to close the loop on this for anyone else that searches and finds the same issues Here are the steps I followed to successfully build package builder on windows 1 install chocolatey and use that to install wixtoolset make git and golang 2 download the repo to the go path default was c users username go so the path to the root launcher directory was C Users username go src <http github com|github com> kolide launcher 3 copy the contents of the bin directory from where wix toolset was installed mine was C Program Files x86 WiX Toolset v3 11 bin into C wix311 4 add c Program Files Git cmd to the Path system environment variable 5 then I was able to continue with make deps and then make package builder to produce a package builder exe
