Unable to install gbsplay on Windows #102
Comments
Disclaimer: I only do Linux, I am no expert on the Windows side of things. We support different build variants on Windows, but we always need a Posix compatible shell (sh, bash, etc.) to run the As gbsplay originated on Linux, this is not explicitely stated in the If you want to build under Windows, you have the following options:
I don't know how to install or configure either of these, but we have them included in our CI pipeline so we have regular builds using the GitHub infrastructure. See the configuration at https://github.com/mmitch/gbsplay/blob/master/.github/workflows/build_windows.yml – the So it is possible, but not properly documented. |

Thank you for replying!! Yeah, after making this post I realized that I probably should've known this program was for Linux only. I actually have a C compiler installed.

And after installing them you'd still need to "compile your own" (which can be as simple as typing So another idea: Current Windows (10 and up) should have WSL and WSL2 available (Windows Subsystem for Linux). |
Hi! I'm trying to install gbsplay on Windows 10. After figuring out that I needed GNU make, I downloaded it using Chocolatey. But when I tried to run the "make" command as the INSTALL file says, there were a bunch of errors. I changed the directory in PowerShell to the gbsplay folder as I assume you're supposed to do...
Am I doing something wrong? :(
