Windows Build

[wilburpowery]

When will the Windows or Linux build be available?

[vlad-shatskyi]

After 1.0 release.

[f3bruary]

I don't mean to be a bother, but I can't wait to use this amazing looking terminal. Any ETA available ?

[drew-gross]

For now, you can install from source if you have a little knowledge of NPM. I haven't tried it, but I've heard it works.

No ETA for an official Windows build, I don't think anyone is working on it right now.

[f3bruary]

I use Linux. I'll take a look at it later today. Hope it works.

Is there any update on this? Trying to follow the wiki instructions for this and it doesn't seem to work, get an error related to pty.js the root element is missing error from msbuild, this is with VS2017, I'd rather not have to get the whole of VS2013 (which isn't readily available only 2015 is) its a real shame this won't work on windows with the instructions and there aren't any with Linux instructions either

[drew-gross]

No updates yet. Happy to accept help. (The best way to help would be to get the test suite running on windows in CI, as I don't really have any other way to test on windows)

@drew-gross You can maybe use appveyor. It provides a free agent of CI for Open Source projects.

I would also like to see it working on Windows.

[ShadowRZ]

I'm interested on this and would build for you.

Sorry, but I can't build on my Windows 7 x86 machine. MSBuild failed.
Here's the log from MSBuild.

Thanks for looking into this @ShadowRZ. I'm not sure I can help with this, pty is pretty core to black-screen and I have no experience with building stuff on Windows.
