I don't think anybody proficient enough for such a port would encounter your issue because they would take care of differences of Unix/Linux compared to Windows. In Linux OS mostly everything i a file and /dev/urandom is the non-blocking random number generating device (file). Reading from this file gives you not blocking random numbers.

You would have to port everything that's specific to Linux to the way it's done in Windows OS. Are you sure you have the knowledge to do this? Based on your question, I hightly doubt it.

I solved it and it's working now with VS2022 and CUDA 12.1. I made some mistakes in the linking.

My question was a little bit short, sorry

Hi!

I migrated the kangaroo repo to VS2022 (windows), but I got an issue:
"Failed to open /dev/urandom No such file or directory"
Has anyone encountered this problem?
