Hi Windows is not supported by this package yet, as I don't have much knowledge on packing things on Windows. If someone wants to help on this that would be nice

e.g I'm not sure if tarball is the correct format on windows, perhaps one should pack things into a .exe file instead? I never see anything that is packed as tarball for Windows

[Kwat Medetgul-Ernar]

I can take this on. @Roger-luo , any advice on which file and how to do this?

https://julialang.github.io/PackageCompiler.jl/dev/search.html?q=windows has some information too.

[Xiu-zhe (Roger) Luo]

Yeah first thing is to figure out how to pack things generated by PackageCompiler on windows. I think juliaup used to be packing binaries on windows. Perhaps @davidanthoff knows more details about this workflow but I guess he is also quite busy.

For the specific file you can look at the the build_application_tarball function to see if it be extended for windows
