Build on Windows

[gabrofig]

I am a beginner and I am struggling to build liboqs in Windows. I was following the steps and first running:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -GNinja ..

However, when running ninja, I keep having errors like bellow:
[382/387] Linking C executable tests\example_sig.exe
FAILED: tests/example_sig.exe
cmd.exe /C "cd . && D:\mingw64\bin\gcc.exe -Wl,--stack,16777216 tests/CMakeFiles/example_sig.dir/example_sig.c.obj -o tests\example_sig.exe -Wl,--out-implib,tests\libexample_sig.dll.a -Wl,--major-image-version,0,--minor-image-version,0 lib/liboqs.a -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lwinspool -lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -luuid -lcomdlg32 -ladvapi32 && cd ."

Additionally, when trying the alternative using msbuild, and the suggested command in the documenation msbuild ALL_BUILD.vcxproj, I find the following message: MSBUILD : error MSB1009: file does not exist.

Is there anything I am missing installing or something I am not doing correctly?
I appreciate any feedback and apologies for the newbie question :)

I'm working on this.

We currently do not support SPHINCS in liboqs on Windows (see: this, this, and this).

I think this error might have to do with the fact that OQS_ENABLE_SHA3_xkcp_low_avx2 is not enabled on Windows, but I don't further time at the moment to dig into it.

I've opened an issue here: #1476

Thank you, Goutam. I am trying to run KEM with the python wrapper, however, due the issue with the build in C, there is no folder C:\some\dir\liboqs\build\bin that I can add to my environment variable so the wrapper can import oqs package. Is there any workaround I could apply inorder to use the python wrapper?
Thank you very much, kind regards,

@gabrofig Can you please try again with the latest "main"? #1478 landed and should have fixed the issue.

@gabrofig Can you please confirm your issue is now fixed (marking the question answered)? Otherwise please provide further detail what still doesn't work.

Hi @baentsch, appologies for the delay! Yes, I can confirm that the issue looks solved. Super appreciated!
