Windows native support for the QRL Core Library

The QRL Core Library is currently not supported by Windows. Related issues are: qrllib#38, qrl#306 and qryptonight#31.

This project is a PoC developped during the QRL Winter Hackathon 2021. This PoC was tested on Windows 10.

Qrllib setup

1. (Optional) Before launching the setup, it is recommended to disable UAC. UAC has a timeout of two minutes. If no acknowledgment is received within those two minutes, the action fails silently (same as if you would have declined).

2. Run Install_qrllib_Windows.bat. Follow the instructions for the requirements.

3. When you’re done, you can perform a final test:

    C:\src\qrllib>set PATH=%PATH%;C:\msys64\mingw64\bin;c:\opt\bin;c:\opt\swigwin
    C:\src\qrllib>python setup.py test
   

Next steps

Qrllib should be ready to use.

Note that environment variable used are not permanent. If needed to compile something else:

	set PATH=%PATH%;C:\msys64\usr\bin;
	set PATH=%PATH%;C:\msys64\mingw64\bin;
	set PATH=c:\opt\bin;c:\opt\swigwin;%PATH%
	set CC=gcc
	set CXX=g++
