Windows port of Astrometry.net ? #173

Closed laheller closed 3 years ago

laheller commented 4 years ago

Actually this in not an issue, just a question? Do you plan to port astrometry.net to Windows ( MSYS2 / MinGW ) platform?

dstndstn commented 4 years ago

I have no plan to do that; haven't owned a Windows machine in years. The code works on POSIX machines including BSD and Solaris. No idea how that translates to window-y platforms.

Can somebody tell me, which packages I need in CygWin to successfully build astrometry.net?

spake commented 4 years ago

I was playing around with getting a Cygwin package built the other week, this might be helpful: https://github.com/spake/astrometry.net-cygwin

Well, if you have Windows 10 installed I would recommend enabling WSL and getting Ubuntu from the Microsoft Store. Then you could use the same script to deploy on it.

What do you mean by same script and to deploy?

@dstndstn @spake @Aster-the-Med-Stu I can confirm, that astrometry.net is fully buildable on Cygwin64 enviroment and works like a charm! Fortunately all required packages are available in Cygwin repositories.

All the solving and plotting function wors for me on Windows 10 / Cygwin64!
