Windows Support #221

Closed Metalica closed 1 year ago

Bringing back windows support is currently pretty far down the priority list, unfortunately. Current codebase is linux-oriented and uses a lot of later C++ features that windows compilers still having trouble with.

I'll mark this task with future tag - gods willing, we'll get to this at some point.

Windows users are currently recommended to use Docker for deploying and testing of evemu server. This is fully possible through Windows Subsystem for Linux and thereby satisfies the need to run the server on the Windows platform.

We can always look into this in the future at some point but for now to keep the issue list from getting too bloated, we can close this.

However, we are definitely open to pull requests on this if Windows support can be added without compromising existing features or performance.
