How to launch on Windows?

silicontrip commented 6 years ago

I'm not in a position to port, build or test a windows binary.

Slasherss1 commented 6 years ago

What should i do then? I have xubuntu in virtual box.

silicontrip commented 6 years ago

My build is for OSX. Although it's portable enough to be built on Linux with minimal changes and some people have forked this repository and made linux specific versions. I assume that a VM will allow direct access to the usb ports and you'll be able to talk to your portal that way.

If there is still an interest, i got a Windows 8.1 build.

Slasherss1 commented 6 years ago

@Dragoonlord82 I think it will work on win10. How can I download it?

Dragoonlord82 commented 6 years ago

Yes it should work with win 10. I have Test it with Xp, Vista, 7 and 8.1 Skyreader.zip Here it is, hope it works for you to.

Thank you

This is the moment when the issue should be closed, but someone else has done it before, when it shouldn't be

Sorry I thought that issues could be raised against forked version.

I'm hoping that those who do maintain the windows fork read these issues. I get emailed every issue raised.

Perhaps someone could help out and write build instructions for other platforms.

Dragoonlord82 commented 6 years ago

Build on Windows is not so difficult. I installed mingw-64 (i686-7.2.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v5-rev1) I wrote a *.BAT file for easier use to compile. With the build instruction in Makefile.mingw. for communication i use also a .bat file. For me that is easier as using the Command-Line. The commands are the same as in your examples. So if i can help anyways, i will do it

Edit: Only thing to note is, if a x 64 or x86 should be made
