Unable to build the Windows version

[brugnara]

Hi there.

First of all, thank you for this great tool.

Sadly I am not able to build the Windows version. Following the guide provided, the build of both json-c and libwebsocket fails. I tried upgrading json-c to the latest version and it builds but after the build, the ttyd build fails saying json-p is missing (please note that the first check says json-c is built but the build itself fails). Also, upgrading the libwebsocket didn't helped.

As someone else stated, it would be useful providing the binaries into the release here on github. #101

I hope you can fix this as this tool is great!
Many thanks.

libwebsockets build error

The build starts but the msys2 freezes itself.

Best regards.

Thank you.

Same problem occurs, but we understood the problem here is Windows 7 386. Compiling with Windows 10 x64, everything worked as expected.

I also suggest you to add this line to the msys2 building instructions as are both required in order to build:

pacman -S git binutils

In order to build libwebsocket on a 32 bit windows, a lib is required:

pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-cmake

Source: https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/blob/master/READMEs/README.build.md

If on Windows (MSYS2) you will need to install CMake in the MSYS2 environment:
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-cmake
