cmd: windows build

Open progrium opened this issue 7 months ago • 3 comments

The plan was to release with a Windows build, but we ran into issues actually testing it. In part, we don't have Windows easily available.

If somebody wants to try:

GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 GOARGS="-tags noconsole,nomount" make wasm-go wanix

And run with resulting executable (./wanix):

./wanix serve

Use UTM on a Mac or Linux

It’s fantastic for testing windows

I have a bootstrapper written in golang and will release it that bootstraps your virtual os to install go, git,ssh etc automatically.

So you can just call go run etc and e writhing just works

Yea, UTM is great. So is QEMU. We could even use v86 to run Windows, so in theory in Wanix itself. We'll have something set up for future releases. Until then, or until we need to, if anybody is interested in Windows support, doing this for us will move things forward.

I can help as I run windows , mac, Linux and FreeBSD locally inside UTM .

All my stuff has to work for end user on all of them , without all bootstrapping . Mostly scientist users ..

Literally just need somebody to compile and run on Windows and tell us it compiled fine and works.
