Windows

NO PROMISES

So I've been playing around with msys2 a little building and deployment environment for Windows.

After fighting my way around some packages this is what I came up with:

I'm still considering my options for distributing Alpaca on Windows, one way would be to just package everything including msys2 and just call it a day.

I really really hate working inside Windows so I'm not sure if I want to be bothered with this every time I want to release a new version.

So yeah, that's an Adwaita app running on Windows, open source code is really cool isn't it?

Also, if I ever release Alpaca on Windows I will disable the code runner, the terminal library I use isn't compatible with Windows and I won't switch it

If you are wondering it took me 4 hours to figure it out, don't recommend trying this at home.

It won't be long until someone ports Alpaca onto the original Xbox if you keep that pace! 😅
