Revision history [back]

Efforts are underway to bring ROS to Windows. There is already the custom port done by REC and there should (soon) be mingw compatibility coming from an external contributor. We are working on a longer-term overhaul of the build system to make Windows compatibility possible. It's a large enough effort that we can't make any promises as to when, but we think there's a large enough community now to make this finally happen.

Update

It is possible to install and use ROS Lunar on Windows 10 thanks to WSL: http://wiki.ros.org/Installation/Windows

This is the best way to use ROS on Windows right now, though it is not perfect.
