Windows Support

[rachit7645]

Do you have any plans for windows support yet?

[epasveer]

Sorry, not yet.

I don't really have a windows environment handy for me to develop with.

Having said that, there's nothing really OS specific in the code. Just need:

• QT5
• cmake running on Windows to build Seer
• gdb binary on Windows (Cygwin?)

[rachit7645]

Thank you for the response. I'll try building on windows myself.

There may be tweakes needed to the CMakefile.txt file. Let me know.

Thanks.

In src/SeerConsoleWidget.cpp, at line 18, the header termios.h is included. This header is not available anywhere on any native windows compiler, even MSYS2's version of gcc and clang. Cygwin would work however it would kinda defeat the point.

Yes, that would defeat the point.

The console uses Linux psuedo-terminals for handling of the stdin and stdout to the program being debugged. I will need to check if there is a Windows equivalent.

There is:

ConPTY - Windows Command Line

Not sure if this is the same as Linux pseudo terminals.
