Improve/finish Windows support #21

Open gavanderhoorn opened 3 years ago

gavanderhoorn commented 3 years ago

While the driver can be used on Windows, there are a few rough edges which we need to address before we can state Windows is fully supported.

This issue will track all outstanding tasks and identified problems with the packages on Windows.

Todo:

[ ] #3: add Windows CI
[ ] #4: add build documentation for Windows (related: #17)
[ ] #17: abb_egm_hardware_interface build failing due to robot_hw.h collisions with windows.h (work-around in https://github.com/ros-industrial/abb_robot_driver/issues/17#issuecomment-791529156)
[ ] #20: multi-line rosservice invocations not working in cmd.exe (work-around/alternative: https://github.com/ros-industrial/abb_robot_driver/issues/20#issuecomment-796817916)

@lilustga is going to look at this.

gavanderhoorn commented 2 years ago

@ooeygui: that's nice to hear.

Is he working in a fork/branch somewhere?

ooeygui commented 2 years ago

@gavanderhoorn We have this in our backlog, but have not started the work. Normally we stage work on github.com/ms-iot before moving back to the origin. Is that acceptable?

gavanderhoorn commented 2 years ago

That's ok. I was just wondering whether he'd already forked to somewhere and wanted to take a look.

gavanderhoorn commented 2 years ago

@ooeygui: any updates?

ooeygui commented 2 years ago

@gavanderhoorn I'm sorry, I do not have any status. Our priority queue grows significantly faster than we can whittle it down. If you can share data about the customer impact on this, it might help make the case to increase the priority in our backlog.

gavanderhoorn commented 2 years ago

@ooeygui @lilustga were you able to improve anything in the end?

ooeygui commented 2 years ago

@gavanderhoorn Thanks for the ping. We are not currently working on this due to resource constraints.

gavanderhoorn commented 2 years ago

Ok. Thanks for the update.
