Shashank0719 commented 5 years ago

Hi ,

It's a great one. Thanks for making one. I am seeking one help. I want to make XAR for windows and CentOs also. Could you please help me by letting me know how to do the same.

Thanks & regards, Shashank Singh

We do not currently support Windows. There is no roadmap for adding support either, unfortunately.

We would LOVE this support tho. We need a way to mount SquashFS on Windows, then we can start to look at support.

XAR should be able to function WSL tho, which could be an elegant hack.

I think XARs should work on any Linux distribution where you can compile the dependencies.

Facebook is mostly CentOS internally, so XAR is in fact most tested on CentOS. So it definately works :).

We don't support Windows for XARs. We may accept a PR that adds support, but it's a pretty inactive project, so getting review time would be hard. If you need windows support, I'd suggest forking.
