Windows support

Hi, I am curious why the recipe skips Windows build. I see that there are PyPI wheels for windows, so I am curious to know what technical difficulty is preventing us from building a Windows package for conda.

I have a downstream project that depends on this package (via transitive dependency). I am also open to help to get the Windows package build.

Hello @sameeul ; can you share more about this dependency tree that include schema-salad?

There are no binary wheels for schema-salad on PyPI, just a source wheel: https://pypi.org/project/schema-salad/8.7.20241021092521/#files

We are working on creating a recipe for this package (https://github.com/PolusAI/workflow-inference-compiler/). It uses cwl-utils and that brings schema-salad as a dependency.

As an experiment, I am attempting to build a binary wheel for MS Windows at common-workflow-language/schema_salad#887

@sameeul Note that cwltool does not support running in MS Windows, but it is supported inside WSL2: https://cwltool.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#ms-windows-users

[sameeul]

Yes, we are aware of it. We are also developing another "compute" tool that can take CWL workflows generated by this tool and can run in various compute environment (e.g.. on HPC using toil, on Nix systems using cwltool, and in AWS EC2 using argo)

@sameeul The schema-salad tests don't currently pass on MS Windows; that is probably fixable. Can you contribute a PR?

Sure. I will take a stab at it.
