Hi! Well, good news and bad news.
The good news is that the whole Cap'n Proto core library has worked on Windows for a few years now. The bad news is that I don't think anyone has tried making node-capnp work on Windows. In theory, porting the serialization code should be pretty easy. The RPC layer, though, depends on some integration with libuv that likely needs significant modification to work on WIndows. If you only need serialization, you could perhaps #ifdef that all out, though. -Kenton On Thu, Jan 9, 2020 at 10:30 AM <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > is there any news about using capnp with nodejs on windows? > > On Tuesday, February 3, 2015 at 12:34:20 AM UTC+1, Kenton Varda wrote: >> >> Hi Diggory, >> >> I'm afraid you're probably right. >> >> Even if node-gyp supported it, a node module compiled with MinGW would be >> unlikely to work with a node compiled with MSVC, due to C++ ABI >> incompatibilities.
