Windows Beaker Browser?

[Steve Luiting]

Any idea if this will happen? I'm on Win64 machine. I do have a Linux server installed as well as IPFS server but I'm asking because I want to gauge the progress that IPFS is at. Yesterday I was thinking that in a year or two when a browser comes out that will help push the traditional browsers to add the functionality in. 

But, this seems to have already been done. Now I'm waiting for a browser that I can demo on Windows to my boss. 

Thanks for doing this already.

Hey Steve,

It definitely will happen, but it hasn't been a priority prior to v1, since none of the devs have windows boxes. It won't take much effort, though; we'll just need to fix up the build toolchain a little, and make sure things work (and dont look bad). If you're technical, and can get the repo to build, please submit a PR and I'll happily merge it!

IPFS development has been stalled while they sort out their URL scheme. Beaker has focused on Dat in the meantime, which is architecturally similar to IPFS but is compatible with existing web standards.

Yeah, I'm eagerly waiting a Win version too. Fellow Jeremy Ruston, chief architect for the incredible TiddlyWiki project (github), brought Beaker Browser to my attention... but without Windows not much I can do.

Thanks for the efforts you put in to BB. If it gets user friendly enough I think it can really become big.

Hi Mat,

I'm following the beaker browser development very closely. .. with ubuntu. ... There's really cool stuff going on!

The biggest problem with the windows version is, that there are 2 external libraries used, that don't compile on a windows system. So the main problem isn't the beaker project, but external dependencies. As you can see in the link, as long as the missing 2 libs aren't available / compilable, the progress for this project will be blocked too.

have fun!

Mario, et al.:

I'm just wondering if you've had any success installing Beaker via Bash on Ubuntu on Windows with npm? If so, are there any compatibility issues and such?

Thanks for your input,

Derek

I don' use linux a lot but JUST to install beaker browser I installed ubuntu mate on VMbox, Since I have virtually no experience I spent 5 hours trying to install it with no luck,

It took me half an hour just to figure out how to get them from git! anyway, I got an error with nodejs and I gave up at that point,

I am sure making a windows version will get a lot of users to use the browser, Still waiting for beaker on windows!

I'd like to take a crack at building it.

I'm a Mac user, but I've got access to lots of free credits on Microsoft Azure, and I can easily spin up some VMs there.

Cheers,
