Windows?

[bitsbakery]

Hello,

I’m not sure if it is supposed to be Windows-compatible, but I’ve tried to build it and got the following:

Severity	Code	Description	Project	File	Line	Suppression State
Error		CMake Error at C:\Users\user\Downloads\tg-focus-master\tg-focus-master\CMakeLists.txt:24 (add_subdirectory):

  By not providing "FindTd.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked
  CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Td", but CMake did
  not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Td" (requested
  version 1.8.14) with any of the following names:

    TdConfig.cmake
    td-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Td" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "Td_DIR" to
  a directory containing one of the above files.  If "Td" provides a separate
  development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.	tg	C:\Users\user\Downloads\tg-focus-master\tg-focus-master\CMakeLists.txt	29	

I'd like to run it natively on Windows and without Docker if possible. Any chance to have binaries included in the next release?

These CMake errors showed that it cannot be compiled because of missing dependencies. While the deployment is supported on multiple platforms including Windows, the development is only supported on Linux, please check the requirements if you are going to build the binaries on Linux.

Any chance to have binaries included in the next release?

Currently, we offer prebuilt binaries embedded into a cloud image(fully built by GitHub-hosted machines), which can effortlessly work on multiple platforms including Windows, as long as you have Docker/Podman installed on your machine. The raw prebuilt binaries currently are absent though. But since TDLib can work on multiple platforms including Windows, TG-Focus can do so as well in the future release. However, that is not a high-priority feature, so the support does not plan currently.

Sorry I must missed some points in previous comment.

I would like to reclarify that the support for Windows or macOS, regardless of development or deployment, might be there in future releases, but it is not ready in current and relatively recent releases.

Thank you for the clarifications. Then this issue is a feature request for native Windows binaries.

Although missing support for native Windows currently, one now can use TG-Focus(v1.5) on Windows through WSL feature.
