Windows not supported...But...

[pete4abw]

@domiluci has requested support for Windows. I replied that when I forked off from lrzip, I intentionally removed all support for compilation and use under Windows. I removed headers, #includes and chunks of code (mostly in the lzma sources). This of course meant that Windows compilers would fail because the needed headers would never be included.

But, I gave it some thought and here may be a workaround. Create a linux virtual machine in Windows, and install a text mode development variant. Some live install versions may do, Debian, Plop. This should allow you to install and compile or run the binary in the VM. If you share directories with the VM you could then compress them using lrzip-next. Note, however, certain Windows permissions may NOT be stored. Starting with lrzip-next version 0.12.5, both an x86_64 executable and debian package for the same are included.

Just a thought, but maybe it would work.
