How to run on windows?

[eabase]

I just found this from being added to:

• Add TUISIC agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps#701

But I don't see any info on building on Windows. (What did I miss?)

I'm using Windows-11 Pro but are also using Cygwin, MSYS/Mingw64 (pacman) and WSL (avoiding like plague).

What are the steps you are using to compile for Windows support?

---

Also:

What is MPRIS (sdbus-c++) support?

---

Suggested ToDo Addition

You may want to consider adding

• sixel support to display images (like album covers) directly in terminal.

Sixel supports any terminal (Mintty, Windows Terminal, Bash, Xterms etc.)

hello @eabase

But I don't see any info on building on Windows. (What did I miss?)

The reason is, i don't have Windows to try compiling on.

I'm using Windows-11 Pro but are also using Cygwin, MSYS/Mingw64 (pacman) and WSL (avoiding like plague).

If you are comfortable with WSL, the same Linux build steps should work as described in the instructions.

What are the steps you are using to compile for Windows support?

I will be setting up Windows on a VM this week, so you can expect Windows build instructions by next week.

Also:

What is MPRIS (sdbus-c++) support?

MPRIS (Media Player Remote Interfacing Specification) is a standard D-Bus interface which aims to provide a common programmatic API for controlling media players.

The practical use is using the tools like playerctl to control the music playback or configuring it with your status bar (e.g. dwm bar, waybar, etc.)

Suggested ToDo Addition

You may want to consider adding

* [ ]  [sixel](https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel) support to display images (like album covers) directly in terminal.

Sixel supports any terminal (Mintty, Windows Terminal, Bash, Xterms etc.)

At first glance, I thought to add, but never actually noted it down in my todo. I'll give a shot.

@Dark-Kernel

Thanks for response. I'm avoiding WSL for now. I'm not a fan, as it's VM controller is overly bloated, difficult, and way too time-consuming to maintain.

I manged to get it to run, as documented in #8 , but I get no sound and errors:

@eabase okay, will look into it and update you soon.
