I was able to compile under cygwin, but I want to deploy beancount to run on a WIndows machine without cygwin on it. Is there anyway to run the cygwin compiled version from the Windows command prompt or git bash?
I've also been trying to compile under Visual C++. I'm running into a number of problems: 1) No unistd.h file (I created a fake one and got past this for now) 2) Lots of warnings mainly about converting from size_t to int 3) A compile error parser.c (273) error C2059: syntax error: 'bad suffix on number'. This is the line which uses the PARSER_SOURCE_HASH macro. Looking on StackOverflow this is probably that and unsigned long int is being used and Visual C++ wants an unsigned __int64(or something like that.) Does anyone know how to get past these issues?
