Windows release

[gedw99]

Is it possible to turn on Windows builds at https://github.com/bots-garden/capsule/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yml#L15

Tinygo works on windows so should be ok:

I will test with the next version of Capsule

• Find a VM with Windows

Right now I removed the Release GitHub action, and do it manually

You can just turn it on in GitHub CI and run tests there. I do it this at with golang projects.

Makefiles run just fine on Mac, windows and Linux inside GitHub Workflows.

I define a “test” makefile target and it runs off the build.

So same makefile you use on your laptop runs in CI too .

If you want an example I can point you to one of mine.

You can even build pkg and msi installers this way. All from make file

I need to test it on a real Windows computer because I think I am using specific linux/darwin features that do not exist on Windows

fair enough - i guess CI is not enough to fix . like coding blind i guess.
