Add the support for Windows #10

Failed to build on Windows using MinGW.

For example,

'_SC_PAGESIZE' undeclared in fy-emit.c:1946:22
There's no alloca.h in Windows

pantoniou commented 4 years ago

Will be addressed by using an additiional meson build system. Getting automake to work on windows is not going to work.

I was able to build this, and build and run the examples on Windows in an MSys2/Mingw64 environment.

hapejot commented 2 years ago

I would like to see the library to be native compilable under Microsoft C, so there are no dependencies on MSys2 and Mingw64 libraries. But in order to compile this under MS C a huge amount of GNU dependencies need to be changed. And I am not sure if this is an easy task. Since most of the macros use GNU compiler specialies. The build system is not a big deal in my opinion.

Am I the only one interested in a plain windows dll without further dependencies?

Enjection commented 1 year ago

Just built and run some examples under windows with reduced perf and functionality:

disabled fy-tool
commented mmap-related functionality
commented termios related things (probably slightly affects output in diag)
some calls to alloca replace with malloc
others with _alloca

Not sure will I contribute it or not soon, because I still need to run tests properly and make my changes readable
