Any plans to make this work on windows?

There is still no way to build the extension on windows. I am rather unsuccessful in doing so with the latest master revision.

Unfortunately Windows gets a bit neglected as it's not a platform I work on or have access to. From time to time I merge windows build fixes that people send, but I can't verify that they work. Mingw should definitely work though.

I've just merged such a fix, so it seems like it's building for someone at least, maybe you could give it another go and let me know?

Using 0.11.1 with my latest patches (see issues) I am able to compile under Windows (w10 32bit with Tcl 8.6.10) using cygwin & VSC (no gcc). would it be helpful for you if I provide a Makefile that you can tailor for your needs?

it's easy to build the extension following TIP 477:

https://core.tcl-lang.org/tips/doc/trunk/tip/477.md

I only needed to add TIP445_SHIM to PRJ_DEFINES

That sounds very promising, trying to keep this thing building on Windows is a constant headache. Is there anything I need to do to support this?

If you could write up a short paragraph on how to build it using the TIP 477 approach I'd love to add it to the README.md (I don't have access to the platform to test it myself)

you already have an open pull request from Ashok, Could you merge that first? It looks like he has done a better job than me (I didn't bother fixing MSVC warnings). Then I can check if there are any issues left on Windows, and create a PR for README
