Hello @johndoe46 , I have private feedback from some who managed to have gmic-py for Linux working on Windows thanks to WSL (Windows subsystem Linux) and optionnally windowed display works...

OK !! yes it is good to strategize this way! And yes WSL2 looks much nicer.. For info someone in my network uses libopencv + gmic-py numpy support + gmic-py...

This is deprioritized in favor of making first a fully fledged gmic-py v1 for Linux (and Mac OS)

Since we want to bring G'MIC into Blender thanks to this gmic-py binding, looking at Blender's Open Data shows that 2/3 of Blender users are coming from Windows... So Windows...

Consider using cibuildwheel with github action support. See related issue having good progress: https://github.com/joerick/cibuildwheel/issues/159

Hello @paulhart2 Thank you very much for the errors reporting. I see how to correct them but will come back to you once I have tried compilation on the Github...

WIP Windows build job on Github Action: https://github.com/myselfhimself/gmic-py/runs/526438299?check_suite_focus=true - [ ] setup.py needs removal of pkgconfig checks for Windows - [ ] wget is not an available command, maybe use...

@paulhart2 is MSVC compilation a must for you? gmic-py would compile best on Windows using MSYS2 instead from what I have heard. Though I do not want to prevent so...

Based on [this 2017 post on compiling G'MIC on Windows](https://discuss.pixls.us/t/compiling-gmic-on-various-platforms/4726) using either MSYS2+Mingw or MSVC, given that the latter MSVC option would probably force to disable OpenMP, I prefer not...

Thank you @jfolz , [MingW is also possible up to Python 3.4 according to that same Python wiki.](https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers#GCC_-_MinGW-w64_.28x86.2C_x64.29)... We could hope that it actually does work for Python versions not...
