Why do you try to compile DeltaChat yourself? ---

seems there are some missing files, you don’t have the deltachat-core-rust sub-repo: [https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/) ---

You did not answer my question on your intention, @salim-lachdhaf It depends on your intention whether we will help you or not. If you are trying to sell a clone of DeltaChat we are not going to help you (for free), for example. On the other hand if you want to contribute we will help you of course. 😄 ---

no you have to follow [https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android#check-out-repository](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android#check-out-repository) to pull the sub-module, too. ---

@Simon in the further future , yes , i’m thinking to create a custom pro version (to sell) with advanced new features, but for now i will contribute or simply understand the current version … ---

> [@salim-lachdhaf](#): > > i’m thinking to create a custom pro version (to sell) Please talk with merlinux(email: delta@merlinux.eu) about your plans to be on the safe side legally. (when you start with your “pro” version) Two important points: - The name `DeltaChat` is trademarked so it can’t be used (without permission from merlinux) - If you make your own alternative client, stay compatible with DeltaChat. ---

I would try to do it on Ubuntu Linux instead of doing it on windows or just install docker or podman, everything else seems to complicated and I don’t have the time to research how to do install something on windows (as I don’t use windows anymore). Maybe [https://chocolatey.org/](https://chocolatey.org/) could help you to install something. But as I said stick to the docker container and you will have less problems, there is a reason we made it. ---

Recently build process was streamlined even more and `scripts/install-toolchains.sh` was added, so it should be even more difficult to mess up toolchain installation now when not using docker. It’s still possible that `libsqlite3-sys` build script does not work well with linux cross-compilation on windows. I know it’s a late reply, but answering in case someone runs into similar problems later and finds this topic. ---
