Building On Windows

Open Moggers opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

Is exmagick supported on windows? What is the build process? Because libtool does not seem to be in choco, and when installing graphicsmagick, exmagick still fails to find graphicsmagick-config, using graphicsmagick 1.3.28.

Here is the log from attempting to build: https://gist.github.com/Moggers/9f90eb01fc37fabad8af4f4d3fd36b8a

Note, this project is correctly building on linux.

Hi @Moggers,

we've never tested in windows, however the code is fairly portable.

The problem is I don't have much experience in windows, so it may take a while to add support for windows and I would need someone to help testing it.

What is the version of windows your are using? Regarding libtool, I think we can use it on windows, but I don't know if that is a good practice. If you have any advice or want to contribute let me know. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks! ~dsouza

I'd be happy to help with testing, however I'm fiarly new to the elixir ecosystem, and do not know much about windows build tools in general, either. OS is Windows 10.

Ok. Any help is useful :)

I probably can start working on it this weekend. I'll give you updates about the progress on a weekly basis, as I don't know how much time this will take.

Thanks! ~dsouza

I'll test it on windows this week.
