Hi, I am trying to run the code on Windows and when I run the command - python setup.py build_ext --inplace, I get error trying to build im2mesh.utils.libmesh.triangle_hash extension. Can you kindly help me with this -

Hi,

Our code and most of its dependencies are only tested on Linux systems. We do not plan to provide support for Windows in the near future. Furthermore, I do not have access to Windows machines right now, so you will have to figure it out yourself... sorry for that.
