Hi,
as I found out that (already) the way WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
works has changed in a big way, I needed to update things a bit. This
applies to Windows 10 with latest April 2018 update.
If you did the installation the old way, you should:
- remove the Linux subsystem (PowerShell as admin):
lxrun /uninstall
- backup any stuff you need from within the rootfs to Windows dir
- remove the rootfs:
Use the program "Search Everything" from VoidTools to find
the name "rootfs" and delete that folder
New installation goes via Microsoft Store.
Find new WSL + PicoLisp installation attached.
QUESTION 1:
I now can start picolisp from within the installation directory, but even
after creating symlinks I cannot get pil or picolisp to run from anywhere
else.
Any help?
QUESTION 2:
I also found out that using /usr/lib is deprecated and that instead
/usr/local/lib should be used. This also applies for other paths as well.
Should this be changed in installation instructions and/or make files?

Install PicoLisp on Windows 10 64 bit using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
=============================================================================
Open a PowerScript shell as Admin:
01. Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName
Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
(reboot if required)
02. Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName
Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux -Online
(reboot if required)
Start the "Microsoft Store" App:
01. search for "Ubuntu"
02. install latest Ubuntu version (currently 18.04)
Ubuntu terminal opens during last step:
01. you are asked for your User name and Password (twice)
02. update Ubuntu (packages):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt-get update
03. install a few needed packages:
sudo apt install make
sudo apt install make-guile
sudo apt install gcc
sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib g++-multilib
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
04. go into your home directory
cd ~
05. download and unpack PicoLisp sources:
wget https://software-lab.de/picoLisp.tgz
tar xfz picolisp.tgz
rm picolisp.tgz
06. download and unpack platform specific file for 64 bit:
cd picolisp/
wget http://software-lab.de/x86-64.linux.tgz
tar xfz x86-64.linux.tgz
rm x86-64.linux.tgz
07. install PicoLisp 64 bit:
(cd src64; make)
(cd src; make tools gate)
10. create symlinks:
sudo ln -s /<installdir> /usr/lib/picolisp
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/picolisp/bin/picolisp /usr/bin
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/picolisp/bin/pil /usr/bin
sudo ln -s /<installdir>/man/man1/picolisp.1
/usr/share/man/man1
sudo ln -s /<installdir>/man/man1/pil.1
/usr/share/man/man1
sudo ln -s /<installdir> /usr/share/picolisp
11. add library to ldconfig:
sudo ldconfig /usr/lib
