Do you think it's possible to support Windows ?

Maybe; at least you can try building libgphoto2 on Windows.

Answer 2 · 2020-07-07T16:01:43.000Z

Hi guys, I would really appreciate some help. I found a way to install libgphoto2 on Windows 10. I can execute successfully gphoto2 --auto-detect.

When capturing an image from a cmd prompt with gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download it works as expected and I can find my picture on my disk.

The problem is I can't find a way to install this lib, when doing npm i gphoto2 I got all these errors and I don't know how to solve them. Any clue?

npm i gphoto2

Sorry, this somehow got buried - your log indicates that MSBuild.exe failed with exit code: 1.
There's no further log output by that program to tell us why it failed. Did you manage to make any progress on this, @boutils?

Answer 4 · 2020-11-05T14:58:50.000Z

Nope unfortunately, I switched to digiCamControl.

Answer 5 · 2021-03-04T09:25:35.000Z

Closing this old feature request; feel free to reopen if somebody finds the time to suggest an implementation.

Answer 6 · 2022-03-09T18:23:30.000Z

@boutils thanks for the suggestion, it is very convenient with the built-in webserver
