Windows and Msys2 support?

[RATIU5-zz]

I am not sure if this is still active, but is it possible to get this to work on MSYS2? I;m very desperate to be able to write OpenFrameworks apps in CLion, and so far this is the closest I've come. If there is other ways on Windows, I'd love to look at those too. Has there been any updates on Windows support?

I never use openframeworks nor ofnode on Windows, but ofnode used to work on Windows, so it is faisable but I don't have time to spent on it right now
btw I'm not using openframeworks/ofnode as often as I used to

What's your setup with OpenFrameworks right now, out of curiosity?

[avilleret]

it depends, last year I used ofnode (that's why you can see some commit in this repo) to crosscompile application for Raspberry Pi from ArchLinux.
This was quite convenient : I used QtCreator as IDE which support CMake and Ninja and allow me to write custom build processes.
I had basically 2 targets :

• desktop for common dev & testing
• RPi to cross-compile & deploy the app on dozen of remote RPi

I was also using ofnode to build a modular video tracking software. I need a full control on link libraries and deployment stuff, and it was more convenient to made it with CMake rather than ProjectGenerator...
Now I'm working on the second generation of this app which is made with Qt/OpenCV and no more openframeworks in it.

More recently I had to wrtie a small of app with OpenCv and Syphon on MacOS and I made it in plain OpenFrameworks with ProjectGenerator (which works quite well since I don't need advanced stuff)
