Install the driver on Windows

[LichuanRen]

Hi!

I am new to ROS and TurtleBot. I would like to use LDS-01 on Windows 10, but have problems when build the driver using nmake. Could anyone give suggestions on how to modify applications/lds_driver/Makefile, to make it work on Windows?

The errors I have:
