Visual Studio support? #14

Open hydexon opened 8 years ago

hydexon commented 8 years ago

Hi, i just discovered this programming language and i like it a lot and i'm thinking to replace Lua with Qore for my scriptable project but i have a question of: There's some chance to build in Windows using Visual Studio? I saw Windows is supported in Qore, but reading the README-WINDOWS requires POSIX libraries and the MinGW compiler (which i really want to avoid at any cost), but isn't updated since 3 years. right now i don't need a lot of features since i want to use Qore for scripting purposes only. Thanks.

Hi,

It could be built on Windows I believe with a little work, but I don't know if anyone has done it actually.

The git master version is stable at the moment and in much better shape than the last release, also regarding Windows support.

If you decide to work on a Windows build for Qore, I'd recommend using git master, and additionally I'll support you as best I can.
