I ran nmake to make astar.so.

When I tried to run the example.py, i got this error -

     File "pyastar.py", line 9, in <module>
        lib = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary(join(dirname(fname), 'astar.so'))
      File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 442, in LoadLibrary
        return self._dlltype(name)
      File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 364, in __init__
        self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
    OSError: [WinError 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application

Unfortunately this version is only supported on Linux. I have a fix available to make it work on Windows and hope to release it soon.

Hi, are there any news on the Windows compatible version?

The above error is typical when compiling on one platform (like Linux) and trying to run it on windows.

Run make on the windows machine.

I made some changes recently that moved building the shared object file to setup.py instead of a Makefile, and was able to get it running on Windows after install Cython manually. See if that works for you too:

pip install Cython
pip install .
