crystal-shards-on-msys2

This repository contains a list of Crystal shards that use third-party library bindings and are known to work out-of-the-box under MSYS2, a native Windows software distribution that provides a POSIX-compliant shell environment and a package manager. These shards require zero or minimal Windows-specific configuration, compared to building on non-Windows platforms like Linux or macOS.

Each subdirectory has a Makefile with 4 targets: all builds the main test executable, run builds and runs it, lib sets up the dependencies only, and clean removes the executable plus the shards.

Feel free to create a GitHub pull request if your shard also works, or an issue if it does not work! (This repository is focused on library wrappers at the moment, but this might change in the future.)
