@DirectXMan12 @droot @mengqiy @alexeldeib Did I miss any other point that needs to be tackled to achieve Windows compatibility?

That seems reasonable -- I don't know of any others off the top of my head. That said, I'm not sure we'll know the full list until stuff stops exploding when you try it on Windows :-P

Meta: since Windows has a linux subsystem and Unix-like terminal support (cygwin), I wonder:

  1. If the combination of these two Windows features makes kubebuilder work without any changes.
  2. Even if 1 is true, do many Windows users use Powershell or some other cmd that doesn't work with kubebuilder as is currently configured.

If you have an opinion on this, please comment.

More one : Golden script for Windows #1126. Btw, shows that add as a pre-requirement the usage of https://www.cygwin.com/ on win could help us to achieve this goal.

@estroz Ideally we shouldn't need to introduce the CygWin development dependency just to port two Makefiles.

This umbrella issue tracks some issues that were detected some time ago about supporting Windows natively. Some of these may be outdated and others may have arisen that aren't detected.

Consensus has been reached in that native windows support would be nice but two things are required:

  • Include windows tests in the CI tools, which would require fixing any current issue.
  • A maintainer that could help with keeping the windows support once new features are introduced or bugs are detected. If anyone is interested please contact any of the developers here or in the slack channel.
