Build for Windows

Open nbbn opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Hi All, as code is written in Go, I think it might be quite ease to build it for MS Windows. Of course, default command prompt might not support all functionalities, that are used, but there are some alternatives and good environment elements supported on Windows, so I think with some effort, it might be possible to do that. Let me know, what you think of it? Have you tried it?

I haven't tried building GRV on Windows although it should be possible. The readline, PDCurses and libgit2 libraries will need to be present or built for grv to link against.

However it is possible to run grv on Windows 10 with the Windows Subsystem for Linux installed: image Therefore while it would be nice to have a native Windows binary for GRV, it's not a top priority. However if anyone is willing to put a Makefile together which can build GRV on Windows then please submit a PR and I'll happily accept it.
