Is the replication feature mandatory?

@wyhaya
sorry, have you managed to compile libsql-server for windows or windows-gnu, if so could you explain how you did it? right now i am using cross and wsl

[wyhaya]

@meitrix8208 I've never tried to compile libsql-server so I don't know the answer to that 😮‍💨, I've always used pre-compiled libsql-server in Docker.

This issue is just a question I had about libsql-client.

Seems related to rust-lang/rust#41703

@wyhaya hi! for the moment things that require the C code don't compile on windows, I would recommend either two things 1) use the remote only client or 2) use WSL2 which is what I use for local development and should work no problem.
