Notes on windows build

Open b3z opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I skimmed through the code and commented with "! WIN“ on all lines which I think hold back windows compatibility. Unfortunately I have no idea how to do things on windows so someone with more knowledge would be great help.

To see my notes check af3cc23

Update: #43 would fix all bash related issues. The dotfile issue doesn’t seem to be an issue. You just do it. The only concern then will be about packaging since a package on mac contains everything (client and server). I don’t know how a package on windows works. Also if the server is installed by a distros packagemanager we won’t have to keep a binary of the server in the app package.

Building the client for windows should then work just fine. The only issue being left is how to run the server on windows since there is no native support possible right now. Options are WSL or external.
