Want to compile on windows

[sofffja]

Do you know a way to compile this on windows ?

I've already compiled darknet with the Visual Studio projects included in the Build folder on the AlexeyAB repo. I couldn't do it with the make command.

hey sorry, this is not based on AlexeyAB's fork. You can certainly try to integrate the code changes into his fork, its not that much actually.

sure I will try that-- could you point me out some of the code changes ? don't know if I can figure it out
thnx anyway

Maybe take a look at the work artynet did in the other open issue about porting to yolov3
artynet/darknet-pjreddie@7c9aa7f
In that commit you find most changes that were made to this repo but applied to a much newer branch, its probably easier to start with that. All the commits he's done there should be the only thing you need to apply to AlexeyAB's fork.
This is the branch you need to look at https://github.com/artynet/darknet-pjreddie/commits/net-tab-fix
I didn't get around to applying this update to this repo so far.

There is only little modification to the actual source files, most code is in their own files.
The most work is probably getting those external libraries into the VS build system, not sure if they are all windows compatible.
