That's amazing!

Thank you for that link. With my old laptop and slow internet connection I'm struggling downloading visual studio and getting everything to work. I do have weights but still figuring out why building fails. Is there any way to download a prebuilt version?

Thanks,What error are you getting? With Vs compiler and cmake we can easily build it.

Thanks for your reply!

I have not used vs and cmake before, so I am probably making all newbie mistakes. I've sorted out that some paths where not set, and that C:\mingw-32\bin\make.exe doesn't exist but it's now minigw-make.exe.

Now I get the error that

   'C:/MinGW-32/bin/make.exe' '-?'

  failed with:

   C:/MinGW-32/bin/make.exe: invalid option -- ?

And from the few things I've found on-line I gathered it's because the mingw version doesn't support the option, but I should use Vs instead. I am a bit lost. Every time I manage to fix one issue, there's another one. :-)

I have updated readme with Windows build instructions,please check https://github.com/rupeshs/alpaca.cpp#windows

schorhr t1_jct58nc wrote

Thanks!

Both of the instructions (for Android which I'm attempting, but also the Windows instructions) result with the > C:/MinGW-32/bin/make.exe: invalid option -- ? error. I can't seem to figure out what make version I should use instead, or how to edit that.

For Android build please use Linux ( tested with Ubuntu 20.04)

Okay. I don't have the capacity right now (old laptop, disk too small to really use a second OS). I appreciate the help! I will once I get a new computer.

For Windows you need Visual C++ compiler, so install Visual Studio C++ 2019 build tools, follow the instruction here https://github.com/rupeshs/alpaca.cpp#windows

I was asleep, my apologies for not replying earlier.

Run pacman -Syu then pacman -Sy build-essential then cd to the build directory and follow the instructions
