I have noticed that there is no version of the tor relaying software that will run on Windows. I know Windows isn’t the most secure OS to run a relay off of for a few reasons, however if there was a version of the tor relaying software that was compatible with Windows, this would remove the barrier an quite a number of people who want to run a bridge or relay but do not want to have to go through the hassle of running a Linux virtual machine or something. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>After just trying to start this project, here is the issue I am already encountering.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The tor relaying software is written in C, which I cannot seem to find any compilers for that would work with Windows.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Microsoft Visual Studio would be very convenient here, but I have checked and from what I can see it does not support C, but does support C++ and of course C#.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Any thoughts on what a good compiler might be to try to port the tor relay software to run as a Command Prompt software on Widows?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Let me know your thoughts.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks all.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
