Including libs in releases #134

Closed trethaller closed 3 years ago

trethaller commented 3 years ago

It could be very convenient to include the Windows libs (x86/x64) as part of the releases, especially since Skia is a bit of a hassle to build.

Chlumsky commented 3 years ago

Unfortunately not really possible because each version of the compiler would require different library files.

Type1J commented 3 years ago

For Windows, please use vcpkg, and please close this issue.

Thanks for the answer. I think releasing libs with whichever version of MSVC was used to build the .exe would in itself be useful. Switching compiler seems easier than building Skia on Windows, I actually gave up and fixed the winding issues directly with Fontforge. Thanks anyway.

@trethaller I can send you the ones I'm using but the debug versions have over 100 MB.
