Compilation for Windows fails

[flotux2]

Hi,

I'd like to use gphotos-uploader-cli with Windows but already fail to compile it.

I tried the following command:

go install github.com/gphotosuploader/gphotos-uploader-cli@latest

Then I get the following error message:

Has someone experience if compilation with Windows works?

Kind regards

I don't have a solution I'm afraid, but also interested in this. This looks like the tool I've been seeking to move from OneDrive file-based storage to Google Photos, but given starting from MS, ideally want to run this all from my Windows laptop. Any interest from the developer in providing a compiled release for Windows?!

Hi folks!

The CLI is not intended to be used in Windows. Windows (and Mac) users can enjoy the official Google Photos application.

In order to make it run in Windows several dependencies should be replaced by another that are Windows compatible 😢

Thanks for the interest

Sad to hear that it will not be ported to Windows. The official Google Photos application can of course be used with Windows to upload album by album but is not capable to do an bulk upload of several folders together with adding them to an album.
I need to use int128/gpup that is working but not maintained. I fear that it will stop working if Google changes something at the API.

At least you know that 2 guys would be happy if there would be a Windows version of it. ;-)

HI,

Yes I know there are some ppl interested on the Windows portability but unfortunately I'm not using Windows since a lot of years ago and maintaining a software without being active user is not something easy to do.

Feel free, of course, to submit patches or test cases and I'll be more than happy to review them and merge them...

And tbh the chanllenge of bringing it to Windows is interesting 😓
