I would like to share a successful example as a potential approach of "native" Windows release of Beancount: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/440 BorgBackup is an excellent backup tool (try it out!) written in Python and Cython. So compiling it in Windows is a headache, just like Beancount. A contributor finally created an all-in-one Windows binary installer for BorgBackup. The installation is self-contained and bundles Cygwin, Python 3, and all the Python dependencies. It took ~100 MiB disk space but it saves you from "polluting" your Windows with tons of development tools. I have been using the Windows BorgBackup release on my gaming PC for a few months and it works well. You may consider creating a similar Beancount Windows release as well. -- Zhuoyun Wei -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
