Does anyone have a precompiled parrot binary for Win32, on an ftp or web site somewhere?
I'm practicing writing parrot assembler, and I'd like to be able to test my evil creations on my own machine, without having to go through the rigmarole of uploading my file to my sourceforge account, then sshing in to run the scripts. <whine>(Plus, the long-term quota on my account is too small to keep around a parrot binary there full time, so I have to re-download and re-compile it when I want to use it, and erase it when I'm done. Bleh!)</whine>
I've put a copy at http://geeksalad.org/tmp/parrot.zip *temporarily* if you want to grab it. It's compiled with MS Visual .NET using AS Perl 5.6.1 build 633 as its configuration base.
It's the whole thing (source, object, docs) from a CVS update about two days ago. It's also pretty large at about 9.5 MB.
<whine> I suppose if there isn't a windows binary out there, I could try downloading and installing a C compiler (gcc? djgpp?) and then compiling my own parrot... but I don't want to do that much work! </whine>
MS VC++ or Visual .NET both work wonderfully. Not exactly free though...
