Windows support? #22

Closed alexbarbato closed 4 years ago

This is a question more than a bug report, but would the windows binary still work with the addition of "plugin" package?

Minimally, I wouldn't expect the "--plugin" flag to work on windows, right?

Just food for thought. I almost opened a PR to remove the windows binary creation, but I decided against it as I actually don't know how the binary compilation step works for these go packages and if booklit is no longer windows compatible at all, just partially, or completely unimpaired.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it works until you try to use --plugin. I just tried it though and some basic things are broken, like dealing with Windows-style line endings. Woops!

I might have to just back out the change to how plugins work, or try to find a way to fallback on the old method. I was kind of hoping Windows support for the plugin package would arrive soon, but it looks like no one has contributed it to Go yet: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19282#issuecomment-480052119

I've fixed Windows-style line endings in the parser and rolled back the use of the plugin package. Seems like everything works now!
