[Nfd-dev] Wondering about NFD on Windows...

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi Peter

C++ is not recommended on Windows.
NDN-CPP and ndn-cxx are both written for Windows. OpenSSL, socket API, etc
are all troublemakers. You’ll be in the MXE (MinGW Cross Environment)
rabbit hole sooner or later.

If you want video, the least effort way is run it inside Vagrant and
connect to X server and PulseAudio server in Windows. You won’t get good
frame rate but it should work.
Otherwise, do what Microsoft recommends and build everything in .Net
Framework.

Yours, Junxiao
