windows build

[joeblew99]

this is working for me well.

I am on a Macbook, and was wondering how to build for windows ? I think there is a docker that has the right wine stuff in it to allow buildng fro windows. Otherwise i guess i just need to run windows in VirtualBox..

Let me know what you think.

@joeblew99 you have 2 solutions to build for windows, and you don't need a VM or docker for any of them:

• build your project only for windows/amd64 => when running the bundler add the -w flag.
• build your project for several environments => add an environments key to your bundler configuration:

{
  "app_name": "Astilectron demo",
  "icon_path_darwin": "resources/gopher.icns",
  "icon_path_linux": "resources/gopher.png",
  "icon_path_windows": "resources/gopher.ico",
  "environments": [
    {"arch": "amd64", "os": "linux"},
    {"arch": "i386", "os": "windows"}
  ],
  "output_path": "output"
}

this way it will build your project for both linux/amd64 and windows/i386.

Does that answer your question?

@asticode thanks for quick reply.

All fixed now:

{ "app_name": "Astilectron demo", "icon_path_darwin": "resources/gopher.icns", "icon_path_linux": "resources/gopher.png", "icon_path_windows": "resources/gopher.ico", "output_path": "output", "environments": [ {"arch": "amd64", "os": "linux"}, {"arch": "386", "os": "windows"} ] }

Now to download a 4GB vagrant image for windows 10 to actually play with it.
