Is gd-tools have a plan to support Windows10?

Hi, guys. I want to install gd-tools on Windows10. But when I run quicktest.sh, it say:

+ readonly mode=release
+ mode=release
+ readonly prog=tests
+ prog=tests
+ xmake f -m release
checking for platform... mingw
checking for architecture... x86_64
checking for mingw directory...C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64
checking for Microsoft Visual Studio (x64) version ... 2022
checking for Microsoft C/C++ Compiler (x64)version...19.36.32537 note: the following packages are unsupported on mingw/x86_64:
	-> cpr 1.10.3

I tried to use pacman install cpr, the version is 1.10.5-1:

msys2
pacman -Syu
pacman -S marisa-trie
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-cpr

Or vcpkg, the cpr version is 1.10.2+3:

vcpkg install cpr:x64-windows

But got the same result.

So, did gd-tools only be used in Linux?

If so, do you have any plans to support Windows 🤡 in the future ?

None of the current members of the Ajatt-Tools organization use Windows. We don't recommend Windows because it's malicious. But if you're interested in supporting Windows, join our chat to discuss it in detail.

@tatsumoto-ren Well, I have become a victim of Windows🤡, but Linux is too difficult for me. I like to use free/libre software, so it's not so bad. My ability should not be enough to support windows-build at present, but I'd like to join your Telegram channel to keep watching 👀.

In my experience GNU/Linux is much simpler and more user-friendly than proprietary systems. There are distros designed specifically for new users, such as Endeavor OS.

@tatsumoto-ren It looks good. If I have an idle PC, I think I will try Linux from this system.
