Then the current version does not work with latest Siglent SDS 2000X HD firmware: I had to patch it to have it support frame length reported in points rather than bytes.
In anyone is interested, I can start new thread to share a downloadable windows installer for this patched version.

Hello fredo_ !
Challenges are juice of live.
I'll try to compile ngscopeclient on Windows/MSYS2 probably during week end 31/8 - 1/9
A new dedicated thread (not only for Windows) for ngscopeclient on EEVBlog forum sounds a good idea to me if one does not yet exists (I didn't find one).

... and so fredo_ did ... he started a new thread for ngscopeclient at https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/ngscopeclient-ultimate-acquisition-software-protocol-decoder-debug-tool/

You can use everything you'd be likely to want as a user on github for free since the MS acquisition, the paid features are mostly just for those hosting projects to share with others. And the compiler situation on windows is probably the best it's ever been: I think all of the full MS commercial compilers are available for free for personal non-commercial use, large parts of their language infra are now at least partially open source, and you can use more unix friendly toolchains from either mingw or WSL depending on your needs/desire.
I'm not a fan of many directions Microsoft has taken of late... but this doesn't seem like one to complain about.

I am not complaining; I am wondering :)

Who can say what will happen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But it seems like the exact opposite of the direction they've been going with developer focused tools.
