Do you mean starting a linux vm via windows-bash with DISPLAY exported to 
something like xming, or was something else done?

- fetching packages from github. (tar fail to create files with ':' in them, so 
downloading filetree from github fails).

If the image/download path is located within the “unix file system” instead of 
“/mnt/c/*” then unpacking files containing $: should work.

Downloading the .zip + unzipping instead of cloning the repo works but it will 
replace the $: with  $_.

There is also the possibility to do this modification by downloading the .zip 
into memory and “patching” the filename / install without using the file system 
at all.
ZipArchive new readFrom: ‘https://gitbub.com/…/..zip’ asZnUrl retrieveContents 
readStream.

Best regards,

Subject: [Pharo-dev] Pharo6 64bits Unix on Windows 10

Hi guys,
Jason Lecerf, a new PhD student at CEA, has managed to run a Pharo6 64bits vm 
and image (60307) under the ubuntu add-ons to Microsoft Windows 10.
What is validated is:
- downloading the latest 64bits pharo vm from esteban
- downloading the latest image from files.pharo.org<http://files.pharo.org>
- opening the gui.
What doesn't work well
- fetching packages from github. (tar fail to create files with ':' in them, so 
downloading filetree from github fails).

As far as I know of the process, running a 32bits image and vm should work too.
Thierry
