Windows failed to run

[leielyq]

It is easy to get started by looking at the description api, do you still maintain it?

Hey @leielyq :)

I'd be happy to fix the Windows build. I'm just lacking a Windows machine atm. Could you provide me with some information about the errors and your build environment please?

I researched reasons.

• size_ undefined
  • => should be replaced to _size
• unistd.h not found
  • => should be replaced to io.h on WIN32

  •  #if defined(_WIN32)
     #include <io.h>
     #else
     #include <unistd.h>
     #endif

• cannot link because Memory definition is separated into header and body
  • => this can be fixed separate body into .cpp, but this is not ideal as header-only library.

Mainly because of 3rd reason, I cannot prepare well defined header-only PR, but I can create PR with .cpp. (You may achieve header-only as redifining whole Memory class in each OS specific macros.)

You can refer below, as a real working PR on Win/Mac/Linux, but I totally rewritten as Godot specific code, so some fixes are needed as for the original code.

I also ported to OpenFrameworks. Tested working well on Win/Mac/Linux.

This is pretty cool @funatsufumiya ! I will add your projects to the README.md the next time I'll work on this.

@leielyq It's been 4 years, but this project will soonish be bumped into an almost 1.0.0 state. We might be able to close this issue soon.
