feat: Windows support

[devgianlu]

To build, inside a golang:1.22 container:

apt update
apt install wget xz-utils make gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64

export CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc

cd /tmp
wget https://downloads.xiph.org/releases/ogg/libogg-1.3.5.tar.xz
tar -xvf libogg-1.3.5.tar.xz
cd libogg-1.3.5
./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
make
make install

cd /tmp
wget https://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis/libvorbis-1.3.7.tar.xz
tar -xvf libvorbis-1.3.7.tar.xz
cd libvorbis-1.3.7
./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
make
make install

export GOOS=windows

cd /path/to/go-librespot
go build ./cmd/daemon/

Hi @devgianlu, are there any updates making this a reality?

Hi @devgianlu, are there any updates making this a reality?

@SeriousM This has been low priority from the beginning considering that go-librespot isn't really something made for Windows. I may come to it at some point, but not really sure when.

Could you set up a GitHub action to publish windows builds as well?

You can use the commands in the first comment, but there's not much to compile as this branch is very outdated.

Maybe it would be an option for Windows users to use wslg?

@stronk-dev I have no idea how that would look, but it's certanely an option. My original idea was to support Windows natively because that was my main OS at the time.

Is there no plans currently to make this happen? I really needed it as recently my main PC blew and the 11 year old laptop I had on hand lags like crazy and spotify's client just kills..

Not currently, but if anyone wants to give it a shot I'll happily review the PR and merge it.
