[stonebig]

Hi,

What is roughly needed work to have torch working also on windows ?

[mszlazak]

Yes! When is a Windows version coming out?

They say soon on the Torch7 website but what does that mean? 1 week, 1 month, 1 year.

Please folks, get this out. I dying without it. Lol

@stonebig someone did compile the core stack for windows. See this for more details:
https://github.com/torch/luajit-rocks/pull/10

However, we do not plan to officially support torch on windows anytime soon.

@stonebig, @mszlazak, I've compiled torch7 on Windows using mingw and the changes have been merged already (#287). I'd be interested to know if they work for you.

Note that the changes are only for the core repository (and not for any supporting tools).

hi @pkulchenko,

Thank you.

For the moment I'm trying with python stack packages. I'll come back to Torch if I give up on this track.

[mszlazak]

Sorry. Don't use Windows anymore.
