I just finished a mini project of porting Goestools to Windows. It's available at https://github.com/JVital2013/goestools-win. My hope is that this port will lower the barrier of entry to use this great set of software.

Other than adding a few recent patches that have not been merged into goestools, I tried to stay true to the current version of the software. Most of my work went into re-structuring the build system. Additionally, there were many instances of gcc/Linux-specific syntax and APIs within the main program that needed changed to work with Windows.

Overall, nothing needed to be completely re-written, but there were a ton of minor changes. If you get the chance to test it, let me know how it works for you! I'm specifically looking for someone to test goesrecv with an AirSpy, as I don't have one of those on hand to test.

Thanks!

Nice work! Do you think the following setup would work:

1. goesrecv running under Linux (raspberry pi) using Linux build of goestools.

2. All processing tasks (goesproc, etc...) running these Windows builds on a separate Windows machine.

Thanks,

Absolutely, I do this all the time! You just need to update the goesproc config on the windows side to point to the raspberry pi IP, and it will start processing the data nicely. Just make sure you have a stable WiFi connection between the two

Awesome!! This provides quite a bit of flexibility. Thanks so much for putting in the work on this and to @pietern for creating this awesome software!

Thanks,
