Use with Windows

[viendocraz]

I was wondering how to use this in Windows? I downloaded sentences_windows-amd64.tar.gz and extracted/added to path. I was hoping to use as such:

type input.txt > sentences > output.txt

The extracted file does not seem to work as an executable though - could someone help?

Greetings!
We don't do anything special so it should "just work." See here for how we build windows: https://github.com/neurosnap/sentences/blob/main/Makefile#L56-L57

I don't have a windows machine anymore so unfortunately I cannot test it. I'll happily review any PRs that address this issue.

I compiled by doing the following:

• Installing go from https://go.dev/doc/install
• go get github.com/go-bindata/go-bindata/...
• go install github.com/go-bindata/go-bindata/...
• Downloading this source code and using the command line to enter the root of the directory structure
• go-bindata -pkg="data" -o data/english.go data/english.json
• go build -ldflags "-X main.VERSION=1.1.2" ./cmd/sentences

This produces a sentences.exe file in the root of the directory structure.

Maybe the Makefile should be archiving sentences.exe for windows?

I can now use the executable like so:
sentences -f input.txt > output.txt

Thanks for your help.

I should add that I was doing this on a Windows machine and therefore did not need to set the following environment variables:
-GOOS=windows
-GOARCH=amd64

I'll happily accept any PRs relating to this for our builds
