Hi everyone! I love the convenience of the SCSH process notation and would like to be able to use it on Windows, but it currently uses process-fork internally and this function is unavailable on native Windows chicken builds. I was a little surprised that the run macro in scsh-process uses process-fork, I expected it to use just the pipe functions from the posix unit. Why doesn't it, is it just to share code with the & macro or is there some obstacle to implement it using only the pipe functions?
Do people have any advice on getting the run macro from scsh-process to work on windows (I guess the & macro would definitely be harder) with a minimum of hassle? Should I install cygwin? (And then building chicken, I guess, since the chicken in the cygwin package list is old: 3.4) Try to reimplement (the subset I need of the functionality of) run using only pipes? I don't really have anything riding on getting SCSH process notation to work on Windows, but it would be nice. -- Omar Antolín Camarena _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
