Windows support #5

I was trying to see if I can do something about it, and I was wondering if anything was started for this? If not, any lead or tip would be appreciated :) ;p

Hey @farzadmf!

Nope, nothing has been started on this yet. The post from someone else in that referenced issue above (old repo for the host - also it used to be written in Go, but that's irrelevant) might help.

First place I'd start is here, then just battle errors and issues as you hit them. I can help with the code if needed, but I know nothing about Windows as a development platform, hence the lack of support to this point.

farzadmf commented 5 years ago

Thank you @SamHH for the reply, I think that's a good starting point. For now, I was able to build a Windows exe file locally (on Windows) and create the zip file. I will check if I can create the file on Linux on my home computer, and continue from there

Hi @SamHH

I'm not very familiar with rust 😛; I thought you might be able to help me. On Windows, I could easily build the project for target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc. After searching the internet, I added using rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-msvc, however, when I want to build, it fails with this message (sorry it's long, I just copy/pasted to whole thing!):

Do you know what's happening? Thank you

samhh commented 5 years ago

Hey @farzadmf, it's very likely that you don't have SQLite installed, or it's something at least related to SQLite - see the README of the dependency we use.

farzadmf commented 5 years ago

Thank you for your replay @SamHH . I did some digging, and, if I'm not mistaken, when we use bundled with rusqlite, it's supposed to use sqlite source bundled with sqlite3-sys.

Here, it's looking for sqlite object file:

.../release/build/libsqlite3-sys-26abfe4612b4a8af/out/sqlite3/sqlite3.o

but it cannot find it. Do you know what's happening or I would need to open an issue with them?

samhh commented 5 years ago

You're right.

First thing to try is just updating the library in Cargo.toml, and if that doesn't help then yeah I'd open an issue over there.

I got bukubrow to work with Chrome under Windows by running buku and bukubrow under Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Should I do a pull request with instructions to the Readme?

I for one am very curious 🙂

ABuffEr commented 3 years ago

Hi, I just compiled bukubrow successfully, changing from: rusqlite = { version = "0.19", features = ["bundled"] } to: rusqlite = { version = "0.21.0", features = ["bundled"] } in Cargo.toml, according to this page, and then compiling with: cargo build --release --target=x86_64-pc-windows-gnu (-gnu, not -msvc, is the toolchain I found installed automatically with rust from chocolatey, no idea if it's better) However, @Trisk3lion , I'm interested to your solution too. Hth :)

samhh commented 3 years ago

Currently fails to build in CI: https://github.com/samhh/bukubrow-host/actions/runs/690696823

Curious if anyone with a Windows machine sees the same thing.

Trisk3lion commented 3 years ago

@farzadmf and @ABuffEr sorry for not replying, but here it comes.

  1. Install the bukubrow on the linux side as per instructions in the readme, don't forget to make it executable with: chmod +x bukubrow
  2. We need to add a key to the windows registry, preferable by creating a .reg file and running it: 
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\NativeMessagingHosts\com.samhh.bukubrow]
@="C:\\path\\to\\bukubrow_manifest.json"
  3. Create the bukubrow_manifest.json file and place it according to the key above: 
    {
"name":"com.samhh.bukubrow",
"description":"Bukubrow host for the Chrome extension",
"path":"C:\\path\\to\\bukubrow_wsl.bat",
"type":"stdio",
"allowed_origins":["chrome-extension://ghniladkapjacfajiooekgkfopkjblpn/"]
}
  4. Create the bukubrow_wsl.bat file and place it according to the .json file above: 
    @echo off
bash -c "/home/USER/.local/bin/bukubrow 2>/dev/null"

    I think you could probably switch "bash -c" for "wsl" also.

  5. Profit! (Hopefully)

It even works for Microsoft Edge as well.

farzadmf commented 3 years ago

I don't visit Windows that much these days :stuck_out_tongue: :sunglasses: , but thank you @Trisk3lion for the detailed instructions, and maybe it's a good idea, as you suggested yourself, to create a PR with these instructions. I think it will be useful :slightly_smiling_face:
