Is Windows supported?

https://github.com/grow-graphics/gd/blob/master/example/src/Makefile has MAC and Linux

I cant remember if Goalng shared libs is supported on Windows.

I know others using golang and GoDot used WASM and a WASM runner to work around it.
The cool bit with WASM being that you can hot swap the WASM code too I guess.

Windows is supported. I believe @ShirenY had had success using it. Yes, the built-in example does not have anything setup for a windows build. The gd command does work however and can be used to run the projects in the examples repo.

Yeah, the lib is currectly working on my windows, basically the only dependency you need currently is go and gcc. You can even debug it with gdb. Checkout this if you need more details.

could that make file be updated to add the Windows option ?

[Splizard]

Yes, I'm open to contributions here from windows users 🙂 Is make typically supported on Windows?

[gedw99]

Yep make works fine on windows

you can even call makefile from github actions.

I can help with all that later. Just in a crunch this week

Actually I find Task File to be a better Make for cross platform going forward.
https://github.com/go-task/task

Example: https://github.com/starfederation/datastar/blob/develop/Taskfile.yml
works on everything as you can see :)

I replace curl and wget with wgot, which is cross platform too.

Task works in GitHub actions for all OS's too.
