Support for Windows

Open glennmatthews opened this issue 11 years ago • 0 comments

COT doesn't work yet under Windows, mostly due to a lack of appropriate helper tools. Current status:

  • Python 2.7 can be downloaded from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
  • Setuptools can be downloaded from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools
  • An unofficial QEMU build for Windows (for qemu-img)can be downloaded from http://wiki.qemu.org/Links#Unofficial_QEMU_binaries.
  • mkisofs can be installed under Cygwin but that's suboptimal. Is there an appropriate free Windows tool (with CLI capability) that we can use when running COT on Windows?
  • No Windows binary is available for fatdisk, and not sure if it will compile on Windows. Possibly use OSFMount under Windows?
  • No Windows binary is available for vmdktool, and not sure if it will compile on Windows.
