Windows builds?

[IngwiePhoenix]

Hello there!

I want to try out MiniGUI and see it run on my local maschine and see what I can do with it. There are a few small ideas that I have but without a nice playground to test them, they will only stay ideas.

I noticed a Makefile.msvc there and, from reading the head of it, it's just an NMake file. Great! But it complains about config.h missing. And reading the CMake file reveals that MiniGUI wants PThreads.

So, is building on Windows no longer possible? Or will pthreads-w32 do? Or am I overlooking something?

Kind regards,
Ingwie

Sorry, since 3.2, we no longer maintain the make files for Windows...

WSL 2 GUI已经发布， 有没有计划支持？

I can not read chinese, so I will just make an assumption as to what you asked @maikebing :)

GUI apps in WSL2 can be achieved with either:

• X11, with the server running in Windows itself (VcXsrv, for instance)
• X11, with the server running in WSL and RDP or VNC being set up to connect to it

There is a new method being worked on as documented here: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/the-initial-preview-of-gui-app-support-is-now-available-for-the-windows-subsystem-for-linux-2/
