Windows nut-Windows-v2.8.0-alpha3.tar.gz link is broken

[joachim-heck]

Dear all,

I'm struggeling to build the https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/releases/tag/v2.8.0-Windows version on my own.
Is there any way that somebody might fix the broken download link from the download page (https://networkupstools.org/download.html)
http://www.networkupstools.org/source/Win/nut-Windows-v2.8.0-alpha3.tar.gz ?

Thanks and regard!

That was a relatively old snapshot by now. The code was merged since, so you can start with building master branch right away. Hopefully docs would lead you how, depending on the platform you build on (linux+mingw or windows+msys2) see docs/config-prereqs.txt or scripts/Windows/README respectively.

Recent CI builds should be available on Appveyor for a month after the build ran; see links in NUT website footer.

Note that not everything was completed for Windows, known differences documented in issue #5 and those linked to it - and help would be welcome ;)

Thanks for your support - Finally we have an running build!

We managed it like that:

• Installed Windows MSYS2 - MINGW64
• Installed required dependencies: git, build toolchain, GCC, LibUSB,..
• git clone of the master branch
• run: ./configure --with-usb
• run: make install-win-bundle DESTDIR=/output-folder
