Request: Windows MSYS2 Installation Support for TaskJuggler2 #1

@Foadsf

Description

@Foadsf

According to this discussion, TaskJuggler3.* does not support XML export, so I am attempting to compile and build TaskJuggler2.* on Windows MSYS2 to retain features like TJ-Pert and TaskJugglerUI. However, after multiple attempts to configure and build the project, I have not been able to get it working.

Request

It would be beneficial if the repository were updated with clear installation instructions specifically for Windows MSYS2 users. Additionally, if a pre-built installation package or portable executable binaries were released, users could easily package TaskJuggler2 with choco, winget, and/or scoop, making it much more accessible.

Benefits

  • Simplifies setup for Windows users without requiring manual compilation.
  • Enables broader adoption via package managers like Chocolatey, Winget, and Scoop.
  • Restores access to XML export and TaskJugglerUI on Windows systems.

Reference

This request follows a related feature request discussion: TaskJuggler Issue #302.

Would love to see this software more accessible for Windows users! Thanks for your consideration.
