Hello,
I was just curious if there were any plans to support building Spot on windows? Or maybe any plans to use CMake in the future? If not, are there any suggestions for building on windows?
Thanks, Jonah

Hi Jonah,
None of us develop for Windows.
I know some Windows users who just build Spot in WSL.
There is also the option to cross-compile Windows binaries from linux using MinGW. We actually do that in our CI/CD setup to ensure we do not use unix-specific system calls, so if you go to https://gitlab.lre.epita.fr/spot/spot/-/jobs/artifacts/next/browse?job=mingw... you can download statically linked binaries that should run on Windows. What we don't know how to build for windows in the Python bindings.
Best regard, Alexandre
