Scala Native + Windows?

Open durban opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

What's the plan for Scala Native support on Windows?

If it's unsupported, we should maybe document that somewhere (release notes? scala-native page in docs?).

If it is not unsupported, we should enable windows SN jobs in the CI matrix... I'd be surprised if everything worked fine. (E.g., the getentropy call in securerandom probably won't link on windows.)

We should definitely document the current state, regardless of anything else. At present, it's definitely unsupported yolo territory.

I certainly wouldn't mind if we supported it – in general I would prefer to support all the relevant things – I'm just concerned about the support burden stretching us even further. If you feel that we can do it with the maintainers that we have though, I'm all for working on it! (also don't let me stop you from working on it if you want to, but it might stay yolo mode for a while until all of it gets fixed up)
