Windows build support #13

Closed markasoftware closed 7 years ago

markasoftware commented 7 years ago

Add support for building on Windows so it is easier for the filthy Windows users to contribute, as fucked up as that may sound. Main thing that needs to be done is a batch equivalent of build/build.bash. Looked into batsh but doesn't seem sufficient (no way to get command line args, no redirection, etc).

Should a simple npm install followed by a npm run build just work? After all, its just node right? Unless there's something I'm just not seeing

markasoftware commented 7 years ago

Hey @rakshithravi1997, npm run build runs a bash script (see build/build.bash), which is not node.

With the summer anniversary update to windows 10 you can now build the project straight in windows. This can be achieved by installing the Linux Ubuntu system extension and then setting up the required dependencies.Then one can use the Linux terminal straight from the windows terminal to build the project. Currently using it to test additions to the database and it works well.
