You mean miniPicoLisp, right? Because neither pil32 nor pil64 can run under native Windows. They depend on POSIX. ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
Re: picolisp on windows
Thanks rcs, I'll go ahead and start using picolisp built with mingw-32 for now and familiarize myself with it. Thanks for the confirmation - it's good to know that it works :) Regards, Kashyap On Sun, Feb 3, 2019 at 7:31 PM r cs wrote: > Kashyap: > > In case you didn't know this, MinGW produces MSVC executables compatible > with normal Windows, so you just can grab the EXE out of the msys > environment and run it on any computer where the MSVC redistributable from > Microsoft has already been installed. > > I've personally built PicoLisp under MinGW-32 on Windows 7, copied the EXE > from where I built it in msys under > /MinGW/msys/1.0/home/myUser/picoLisp/src to some place else on the > system, and then just run it from a command prompt.

Re: picolisp on windows
Kashyap: In case you didn't know this, MinGW produces MSVC executables compatible with normal Windows, so you just can grab the EXE out of the msys environment and run it on any computer where the MSVC redistributable from Microsoft has already been installed. I've personally built PicoLisp under MinGW-32 on Windows 7, copied the EXE from where I built it in msys under /MinGW/msys/1.0/home/myUser/picoLisp/src to some place else on the system, and then just run it from a command prompt. Using *make* is also a lot less work than dealing with an IDE. I only use '32 because it is easy to install and I've been using it for years, but the newer '64 should work the same way.

picolisp on windows
Hi, I'd like to use picolisp built on MSVC. I am planning to start trying to compile miniPicoLisp (it should really be nano :) ) using MSVC. I was wondering if anyone has already done this. MinGW does not quit work for me (I don't have strong technical reasons for this). WSL does not work for me because I intend to use existing DLLs which I don't suppose would be straightforward to use from WSL. Regards, Kashyap
