Where can I get pre-compiled package of bear for Windows 10 Pro?

[DerellLicht]

This is actually two questions:

1. is there an actual Windows 10 distribution, or is msys2 the only available option?

2. if msys2 is the only Windows-compatible distribution, where can I find this package??
   I looked on this site:
   https://repology.org/project/bear-clang/versions
   but all of the commands there return "target not found" in response to the specified pacman commands

Update on question 2:
Okay, I noted that I could download the tarball there, which I did, but that gives me a .pkg file, which I still don't know what to do with??
msys2 apparently uses pacman, not pkg

@scc-tw could you assist here?

I'd be glad to help with this.

Thanks @scc-tw! Could you write up here (or someplace else) instruction how to install Bear on Windows? Or point out the package manager manual which contains the commands? The goal would be to help out people to start using the tool. Would be happy to include that in the INSTALL.md file of the project when it gets mature during the time.

Hi @rizsotto, sorry for the late update. I'm traveling at the moment and won't have access to my desktop until next week.

No worries! Enjoy your trip.

Well... it wouldn't hurt to actually have that Windows 10 port, speaking theoretically...
However, in my specific case, I solved my problem with another tool (compiledb), so I have no further need for this tool.
