Windows support about node-fibers HOT 2 CLOSED

libcoro "runs on Windows", though it is unclear if that means with cygwin or not. Windows also has some kind of native fiber support which could be used instead of libcoro if needed. There is a small possibility that you could get this thing running in Windows without writing any code at all, and just figuring out the build process.

Also to be clear Windows support is less than "not a priority"; that implies that Windows support is something I will eventually get around to. I haven't used Windows for anything other than video games and testing IE for like 7 years. There's a very small possibility that I might get drunk one day and decide I want to figure out how to build fibers in Windows in a pirated copy of Visual Studio but it's pretty unlikely. On the other hand I would love to see fibers running on Windows, so if anyone wants to take a stab at it I will give them whatever support they need.

Good to know. I'm in the same boat with Windows, but don't want to commit to node-fibers unless porting it seems feasible when the time is right. We're working on an installable app, so Windows support is unfortunately required.

I've had good experience with Node's new node-gyp for building. The advantage is you get Visual Studio solution automatically and Visual Studio Express is likely enough, so no piracy required. I may take a stap at this.
