Missing windows support for building from source

Open MordechaiHadad opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

#38 currently lacks support for windows.

It seems for now that the commands that are required to be ran in order to build neovim from source on windows are: (MSVC only)

mkdir .deps
cd .deps
cmake ../cmake.deps
cmake --build .

cd ..
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

but compared to building on linux it is much longer, main reason I believe is not having libuv installed.

currently only builds successfully when using Developer PowerShell for VS 2022

You could in theory use Import-VisualStudioVars from this https://github.com/Pscx/Pscx but

  1. I dunno how to do that, instructions unclear
  2. This still limits you to being stuck with one shell(powershell)

I'll probably just add the commands above and specify that it will require using VS Developer shell for now... and try to come up with a better solution in a later patch

This issue is basically done but one con is needing to use the VS Developer shells now
