ESP32 docker flash does not work on windows. #72

This README https://github.com/grblHAL/ESP32 explains how to build and flash the code using docker. However this solution only works if you are running the docker image on a linux host because the linux image will not be able to recognize the COM port either through the COMXX name nor the /dev/ttyUSBXX name. It can be done but only with a nontrivial amount of configuration which would be significantly more work than just installing the tool chain locally. Am I missing something here?

Am I missing something here?

I have no idea as I do not use docker for building/flashing - the instructions in the readme was provided by a user, and I assumed it was correct. Perhaps it is best to remove them?

BTW I am using Eclipse for development (Win10), it works fairly well. The Web Builder uses platformio.
