Error while trying to compile godot for WinRT (Windows Phone)

Question

Hello, I am following this guide to compile and export a WinRT export template. I am having a problem during compilation, I'll show you my build process so you can help me if I screwed up.

1. Open the VS CMD prompt for ARM. The shortcut path is: %comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86_arm
2. Navigate to my godot source and entered: scons -j4 platform=winrt target=release_debug
3. Wait for compilation. It will fail during the linking phase.
4. Received this error that there is no online help for:

Only thing I could think of, that I did differently, was that for vcvarsall.bat I could not find just an "arm" architecture target as an argument option so I used x86_arm. I also tried compiling with x64_arm and I get the same error.

Comments

Seems like the build broke with the recent changes int the code.

Could be or I just did something wrong. I'm reinstalling Visual Studio to try a clean attempt. I noticed that I had multiple versions of the WIndows 10 SDK, I'll see what happens if I use just the oldest version.

No, it's broken indeed, fails for me too (and I was the one who did the port, so...). Anyway, I opened an issue to make people aware: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/7003.

Oh, thanks for checking then, hopefully it can be sorted out. It's also a shame there is no pre-made export template for WinRT.

Adding as an answer so other people know: current master is broken for UWP. I opened an issue about it and already send a patch to fix but it's not yet merged.
