MicroPython Forum (Archive)

Hello there, until now I am building the micropython firmware on a Windows machine running WSL, but many of my students asked me, why they can´t do this on the Windows system itself, although the ESP-IDF system on Windows works quite well (or at least reasonably well). The first problem I ran into was building the mpy-cross, but I guess that could be solved by installing it via pip, or am I wrong?

So my question: does anyone know a viable way to build Micropython on Windows? If it really should not work, then I would also be very grateful for a short explanation of why it can't work.

Many thanks and greetings, Cyrano
