Why isn't there a windows version? Compiled whl files

[464hee]

I think the tool is good, but it's too hard to install under Win10

[464hee]

pip install https://github.com/SGotla/ANTsPy/releases/download/0.1.7Win64/antspy-0.1.7-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

I found a solution in my previous question.Thank him for his dedication

[464hee]

It would be nice to have the latest version

[ntustison]

You’re right. However, we don’t have windows machines so it’s difficult for us to support that platform.

You can use the cloud platform to achieve the windows environment testing

[ntustison]

If you were so inclined, that would be a much appreciated contribution.

@ntustison I see the wheels.yml seems to have windows builds and recent CI builds on github contain the wheels in the artifacts. Are you planning to push any of those to pypi?

BTW: the ITK external modules use a github action like this. This zips the different platform versions as separate artifacts and if the push/pull_request is tagged with something starting with "v" (e.g. v1.2.3) it is uploaded to pypi.

[stnava]

the wheels are too big to push all to pypi ... we have limited storage there. also, I don't think anyone has actually tested the windows wheels.

[kchawla-pi]

What are the sticking points/blockers in building windows wheels? I may want to look into trying to build them. Anything I need to know? Any guidance that would benefit me?

[kchawla-pi]

BTW Azure Pipelines has robust windows build support and is generous to opensource projects.

[stnava]

we would like to have windows builds but none of the core developers use or even have access to windows machines ... more critically, no time either.

[kchawla-pi]

I read that. I am volunteering my time and my windows machine. Would the project be interested? If yes, anything I should know that is not obviously documented, before I start?

[kchawla-pi]

You already have a Windows in the wheels.yml , and are unable to test it and host it on PyPI due to limited size. So it is not a technical bottleneck, but a testing and cloud resource one?

[kchawla-pi]

If you were so inclined, that would be a much appreciated contribution.

If this has not been worked on, I will take a look.

[stnava]

that's great and much appreciated. I don't think the windows release actually works .... some testing would be good .... eg run the examples or something .... we could also use updated documentation of how one might compile on windows. @cookpa any thoughts on this?

[kchawla-pi]

Cool! Also, if I use Azure Pipelines instead of Appveyor, would that fly with the project?

The Nilearn project used to use Appveyor, and it was pretty limited so I switched it to Azure Pipelines when I was working for Nilearn, and we were much happier for it.

[stnava]

yes - we are happy to have any help - very thankful ...

[kchawla-pi]

Thank you all for your excellent work for all of us.

[cookpa]

This sounds great. I don't use Windows, but I have done a bit of work on the CI / deployment through Github actions for other platforms. I'm happy to help where I can.

There have been a few contributors who helped with cross-platform builds: @ravnoor and @tfmoraes - no pressure, I'm just tagging in case of interest in this issue in any capacity.

Anyone else reading this who would be interested in helping develop or use Windows builds, please join in this thread.

[tfmoraes]

I tested on Windows when I submitted the PR to use the Github CI to generate the Wheels. It's running on Windows, but registration and other parts were not running, see #345 (comment)

[cookpa]

Thanks for all the wheel building help, the last step was the pointer parsing in ANTs. It should work as of #442

[kchawla-pi]

Oh great! When will this see a release?

note the long-awaited windows wheels @dorianps thanks to @cookpa ... hoping these continue to work for ppl.

his solution will also enable windows builds for ANTsR .... (eventually)

[464hee]

Thank you for your work

[dorianps]

Thanks for the heads up @stnava/ANTs ***@***.***> and @cookpa. I can try to spread the word if ANTsR becomes available on Windows. People who use lesymap and Linda may be interested.
