Framework7 v6 custom build on Windows

1

I am attempting to build the latest release of Framework7 (v6.0.15) on Windows. The steps I followed are:

  1. Download a copy of the repository (framework7-6.0.15.zip) and extract
  2. Move to the “framework7-6.0.15” folder and run “npm install”
  3. Copy “scripts/build-config.js” to “scripts/my-config.js” and remove a few components
  4. Run “npm run build-core:prod – --config scripts/my-config.js --output OUTPUT”
  5. The build fails…

The last time I built was using a v5 release and this worked just fine, so I’ve gone back and followed the same steps for v5.7.14 to check my environment is still OK:

  1. Download a copy of the repository (framework7-5.7.14.zip) and extract
  2. Move to the “framework7-5.7.14” folder and run “npm install”
  3. Copy “scripts/build-config.js” to “scripts/my-config.js” and remove a few components
  4. Run “npm run build-core:prod – --config scripts/my-config.js --output OUTPUT”
  5. The release is built in the OUTPUT folder as expected

This is on Windows (using Command Prompt) with Node.js v14.12.0. I also have Git installed and added to the path in case anything like “xargs” is called from the build scripts.

It fails very early (when trying to do the clean). My guess is that the newer build scripts are messing up the paths on Windows somewhere?

The error message when trying to build v6.0.15 is:
