Noticed the Visual Studio project files. Was Windows a primary development platform for foundationdb?
- panghy 9y agoNope, the actor compiler is down with mono and your need windows to compile the windows client. When we were independently working on it, we just ditched the windows code completely (we are a mac/linux shop)
- polskibus 9y agoDoes it mean that client is unusable on Windows?
- voidmain 9y agoBefore FDB was acquired by Apple, a lot of the engineers used Visual Studio on Windows. It's a good IDE for C++. You certainly don't need it to develop though! Windows was never the most important deployment platform for the product. I'm not sure how performant the server is. But it should work, and I would think the client is fine.
