Question: Compatibility of FACE on windows and mac

[gha3mi]

This is not an issue, it is a question.

Thanks for the project. I wanted to use your library in my project foropenai. As a Linux user, I have tested your project under Ubuntu, and it works well. However, I would like to know if FACE can also be used on Windows and Mac? Are there any restrictions or limitations on other operating systems?

Dear @gha3mi

thank you for the kind words.

I am a GNU Linux user, thus I am not sure FACE is completely working on other OS, in particular on MS Windows. I am almost sure that in the past there were some users of other OS indeed, but I do not remember if there were issues or not. Unfortunately, I cannot test it myself. However, if you want to give it a chance I will happy to support you if any issue will arise.

Kind regards,
Stefano

Thanks, @szaghi, for your answer.

I have forked your project to test it on different operating systems. You can find the forked repository at: https://github.com/gha3mi/FACE/. In the repository, I have added an fpm_test.yml file for MacOS, Windows, and Ubuntu.

FACE works well with gfortran on all three different operating systems. Here is the workflow link for fpm_test.yml: https://github.com/gha3mi/FACE/actions/workflows/fpm_test.yml.

Perhaps you might consider adding something similar to your original project to test FACE with these three operating systems.

Kind regards,
Ali

I also use FACE on Mac and can confirm it does work in the normal Terminal app (the colors show up).
