V: Windows binary

[h5rdly]

Hi,

Cheers on this prject, I'm looking forward to tinkering with V.

I see that Linux and MacOS binaries are released. Can the same be done for Windows?

You don't always choose Windows, but sometimes Windows chooses you...

Cheers

As I read the compiler code. Currently the compiler compile v code to c code, then use a C compiler to compile the translated C code. It means that C compiler is always required even the prebuilt windows binary is provide.

Is that true? Actually I want a prebuilt windows binary without MSVC and MingW required.

Hi Alex, as I know, many people, like me, are waiting for the Windows binary. :)

Hi Alex, no Windows binaries yet? Can't see any from download page. I've tried to build it my self from source on Windows 10 x64. Neither Visual Studio 2019 nor MinGW-x64 succeeds.

Good point, but for now I think that's OK. Ideally V frontend hooked up to LLVM or GCC backend as an option would avoid this and give the best optimization. (Outputting C is really great for portability so that should be kept too).

This was fixed. You can get the binary from the main page, or build it from source in seconds.
