Windows version

[simonwjackson]

I'd like to contribute to getting this working on windows. What do you think the biggest hurdles will be for getting this to work cross platform?

Hi @simonwjackson I don't think it would be too difficult port it to Windows since a lot of the internals are handled within Node. We'll just have to make sure some of the core plugins such as dext-core-plugin-bookmarks support Window paths since it currently is reading to Mac specific directories.

I haven't tried launching this on Windows yet but I do have a Windows machine I can review any PR's you submit.

I would first try to get the core app launching first with the core calculator plugin and solve the bookmarks plugin afterwards.

I've actually just cloned the repo on my Windows 7 machine and it actually launched without any hiccups. 😎

Perhaps you can help by enabling the packaging scripts to build an executable for Windows.

Is this still an issue?

Wow, i only just got notified of a reply to my issue just now (almost a month later)

I'll install this now, and see how far i can push it

@vutran I just cloned the latest version, ran npm run dev and got the following error:

Looks like an issue in repositionWindow where height is not specified.

Is that still an issue ? I would like to jump in and make it windows compatible.

Thanks.

@jonathanlaf thanks for jumping in. I welcome help on this, since I don't have a windows OS myself 😢
