Multiple Issues in step 4 about example-mediapipe-udp

[madelinegannon]

Hi @forestcolat — I feel your frustration! Let's try to get around this hurdle together.

It seems like your hunch is correct, and the windows style file path is causing the error. But before you do any more debugging, I suggest that you try to get mediapipe running using google's Windows Installation Instructions.

If you can get their Hello World example working, I think you'll be in good shape for adapting (i.e., copy/paste) the code from this repo for your windows setup. Keep me posted with your progress!

Hello Madeline, as per the windows instructions it has a disclaimer as;
Disclaimer: Running MediaPipe on Windows is experimental.

Note: building MediaPipe Android apps is still not possible on native Windows. Please do this in WSL ( windows subsystem for Linux ) instead and see the WSL setup instruction in the next section.

So, should I proceed with windows or should I proceed with WSL?

I don't have direct experience with WSL, but following along with what the MediaPipe project suggests seems prudent. Plus, they'll have more answers and support for WSL in their repo.
