windows binary

[lazeebee]

whats the timeline of the windows binary release?

[kylecarbs]

The windows binary is actually very close to working!

I believe the only change we need to make is including the additional files w/ node-pty that windows will output in the Release/build dir.

Edit: As for timeline, we don't have an exact date. We're focusing on improving support for Mac & Linux. If enough interest grows for Windows support, we will be sure to take notice.

i'm interested in a windows version as well

@lazeebee I believe we have a new bundler in the works that should get us one step closer to getting the windows binary working

[MichaelDesantis]

New Bundler for binary has been released! @nol166 Maybe we can re-test this? (I think Justin has a windows machine, no?)

@multishifties I would like to test the new bundler, where I can find it ?
I'm a PowerShell developper and I need to use VSCode on Windows to develop for Windows PowerShell Edition. It's why a windows or windows Docker build is a requirement for me.

@fMichaleczek new Binary compiler is located here https://github.com/codercom/nbin Code-server uses this now instead of Nexe

AFAIK, it SHOULD allow you to compile for any platform where Node.js is supported. But I haven't had a chance to test it extensively yet.

[fMichaleczek]

@multishifties I will try to test this week and give feedback on nbin repo.

Was anybody able to produce a Windows binary? Even if beta test only..

[max-hk]

Any updates?

Is there an expected time when Windows build will be available?

[sr229]

@MaxLOh Windows builds are low priority since there is more demand for ARM builds than Win32 builds.

[max-hk]

@sr229 Vote for windows binary. Hope we can get it one day.

BTW, is there any guides to use code server with WSL?

[ikarstein]

I wait for it too. What needs to be done?

[nhooyr]

#1306 will fix this.
