Windows support

Open mottosso opened this issue 11 years ago • 4 comments

Hey Chad, just happened to find your fork here, are you working with Justin on this? :)

I also noticed mentions of Windows in some of your commits, are you working on getting this up and running on Windows? I'd be interested in helping you with that.

Hi Marcus. Unfortunately, Justin and crew can't help due to employment agreements. So it's just me right now! I just started up a couple days ago and since I work in all 3 platforms, I started trying to get the development environment up in all 3. Windows is still in progress. The Python client setup.py needs some love to work on Windows. I would welcome any help!

Ah, I see. Spoke with Justin about it a while back and we tried finding a repo that was still available since they closed-sourced it but couldn't. I thought this was a re-open-sourcing of that repo.

Do you think the work we do here could be a problem for the original team?

No I don't believe so because I started from one of the handful of forks that were already on github. And I spoke with Justin before starting.

Hey guys. So the client support should be pretty easy since thats just a matter of getting the setup.py to find boost/thrift to build the client. The client code itself doesn't need anything special beyond that.

In order to run an rndaemon on windows, you would have to implement a windows-specific profile module which defines how to report the system information and state, and how to run a subprocess given its parameters. But you only would need a windows rndaemon if you intend to run windows render nodes.
