Building on Windows / msys2 #446

Closed stoermelder closed 1 year ago

I did a fresh checkout of the main branch and trying to build on Windows. What I'm doing wrong?

Compiling CarlaPluginLV2.cpp

Buildinng Cardinal requires a filesystem with symlink support, as a few files placed in git are symlinks in order to avoid duplicate files. Windows still does not support this.

Ok, so no development on Windows possible?

falkTX commented 1 year ago

might be possible under WSL, not sure.

I personally never run windows, and common contributors to the project are in the same position. so there is very little interest on changing this at the moment.

Ok, thanks for letting me know.
