Windows support (possibly via Cygwin or WSL)? #11

For issues like that, we could offer some kind of native Windows
implementation if we detect that we're running on Windows/WSL, because WSL
is able to run Windows binaries straight from WSL (kind of like how Wine
runs windows binaries with binfmt handlers on Linux if you just do
./something.exe). Not sure if that would be the best solution, though.

I tried using po with WSL a few months ago and it worked to some degree
if I remember correctly. Firmware could be compiled but devices were not
accessible from serial / dfu so firmware could not be flashed. I'm not a
regular WSL user but I think po could be ported to run better in WSL.

Have you tried to install po inside of WSL? It should behave like a
normal Linux system during the installation.
------------------------------
I've been contemplating whether to port po from bash to python since it
would make cross-platform development easier but it would take more time
than I currently have right now. Adding support for Windows/Cygwin would be
challenging but also very rewarding.

@nrobinson2000 Did you get po-util compiling on WSL? I use OTA to connect to my photon so DFU or serial not working is not an issue. . I just had compile issues. |

I think I had to do something with binfmt. This might help: |

Hello everyone. At long last, I have made neopo, a replacement for po-util written in Python. It works well on Windows through Cygwin and even better on Linux, macOS, and Raspberry Pi. Here is the repository: |
Is there a possibility of running
poon Windows using something like Cygwin or Windows Subsystem for Linux? I'd be willing to assist in porting to one of those, if need be (although it would probably be WSL if I do it).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
