Any plans for Win or MacOS releases? about exatorrent HOT 17 CLOSED

@ivanduka ,

YES ,

I don't have Windows or MacOS machines currently.

I wanted to create Windows executable. I tried cross compiling using mingw and asked my friend to test it but it reported some error namely libstdc++ error and similar ones. So,i focussed first on releasing software first and look into this issue later.

I also wanted to release Binary for MacOS too ,so went to setup osxcross cross compiler but couldn't setup it properly too. I wanted to work on this after release.

So, Help is appreciated regarding this matter.

Progress 🎉

1. cb53f30 : This builds exatorrent for Windows along with statically linking few DLLs necessary . I was able to run this without no issues on Fresh Installation of Windows. Thus , I can say that I have successfully cross compiled exatorrent for windows and it's working properly.
2. cc3afc8 : I was able to setup osxcross properly and exatorrent works without no issues on MacOS ( both intel(amd64) and M1(arm64) ).

Thus , Expect exatorrent Releases for Windows and MacOS in v0.0.2

@varbhat could you suggest which dependencies are requires libstdc++? maybe we can switch to pure-go implementations?

from exatorrent.

@Slach ,

Can you build exatorrent natively on windows and check once ?

pure-go is not option here, as one will be forced to use Postgresql and utp connections won't work.

@varbhat i tried on windows 10, but i have only cygwin gcc

git clone https://github.com/varbhat/exatorrent.git
cd exatorrent
go mod download -x
make app

got error

env CGO_ENABLED=1 go build -trimpath -buildmode=pie -ldflags '-extldflags "-static -s -w"' -o  build/exatorrent exatorrent.go

also, I tried build under WSL2, and also got the following error:

I think you try to use https://github.com/cvilsmeier/sqinn-go instead of crawshaw.io/sqlite to avoid GCO dependencies
or use something like https://gitlab.com/cznic/ql

from exatorrent.

@Slach ,

Avoiding cgo is not option for us here.

See #17 (comment) once . He has been successfully running exatorrent in windows. He has cross compiled it. I too had cross compiled,but got few errors while running it. I hope it must have been some mistake from my side then.

I suggest you to try compiling with mingw's gcc instead of cygwin. Also, you must be able to compile it in WSL2 (you must set GOOS as linux in WSL2 , i think) as it's Linux anyway.

I will reach some solution by next release.

from exatorrent.

@Slach ,

use https://jmeubank.github.io/tdm-gcc/ to compile.

cygwin is not supported ( https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/InstallFromSource#install-c-tools )

also, when you are compiling in WSL2 , target must be for Linux as WSL2 itself is Linux environment

Some Progress :

cc3afc8

1. i cross compiled exatorrent to macos using osxcross and it's working properly . Expect some progress regarding this .
2. windows cross compiled executable has been reported to run properly by @ystyle . Also , I will check it once again (I got few errors but will try to solve them)

from exatorrent.

@varbhat great, thanks a lot for your efforts

and
from VLC side

I think that video must be downloaded more to make it streamable. Also, please also try with other torrent file.

from exatorrent.

potplayer has the same issue.Neither of the provided URLs can be played

from exatorrent.

@ystyle ,

1. Click on Download. Will it download.
2. Wait for File to complete download in torrent client. Will it stream?
