Demoralising experience trying to install on Win 7

Hi, I had ran into similar problems as yours before. I solved them by removing Leiningen from my computer completely and using the Nightcode IDE (https://nightcode.info) instead as it has an integrated Leiningen. The best thing about Nightcode is that it has integrated templates which can make

You guys are so funny...for a real challenge try to get any clojure-clr environment up and useable on Win anything. Nightcode is close, but there are still some interesting things you have to do. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group. To p

Re: Demoralising experience trying to install on Win 7

My personal experience with using Clojure on Windows has been pretty good - but that's largely because I've sidestepped Leiningen and instead used Eclipse with the fantastic Counterclockwise plugin. I like having a proper integrated IDE, the CCW REPL is great (much better than the standard Cloj

Re: Demoralising experience trying to install on Win 7

I think it's a recent thing, FWIW:​ I've installed Clojure with lein.bat on several Windows (and Linux) machines with no difficulty. It's been truly wonderful, especially after wrestling with Ruby (and other Open Source) installations for years. I'm sure there's room for improvement; I'm just addi

Re: Demoralising experience trying to install on Win 7

I hope I am not pre-announcing things before they've been tested to work, or misinterpreting work that is going on now, but it appears that Leiningen folks are fixing Windows-specific issues as this conversation is taking place (perhaps due to this conversation taking place). https://github.com/te

Re: Demoralising experience trying to install on Win 7

I'm using Win 7 with Clj 1.6 and 1.7-alphas and the last version of Leiningen, without any problem. My team is using a similar configuration (+ lightrable, sublime or Emacs) to develop some company systems. Could you share the error message, if any? Regards Plinio Balduino > On 25/10/2014,

Re: Demoralising experience trying to install on Win 7

Hi folks Impressed that you've responded to my grumpy old man act so constructively - many thanks! Stu - I was aware that I could run the REPL without Leiningen - the Minimal Install section is pretty clear. But there didn't seem much point in having Clojure without any access to the build to

Re: Demoralising experience trying to install on Win 7

Hi Geoff, What path from clojure.org led you to believe that leiningen was necessary to run Clojure? I would be happy to fix the docs. The instructions at http://clojure.org/getting_started should have you up and running with Clojure on Windows in no time. Stu On Sat, Oct 25, 2014 at 10:17 AM,

Re: Demoralising experience trying to install on Win 7

One of my goals with Cursive was to make this very thing easier, since lein on Windows does seem to be fraught with peril for newcomers and those not accustomed to the command line. Cursive, like CCW, bundles lein to avoid this sort of pain. Unfortunately I've been lazy and there is one critical pi

Re: Demoralising experience trying to install on Win 7

Right, current lein-win-installer works if the the user has wget installed, the logic to fallback on curl is flawed. The newer lein.bat ( https://raw.githubusercontent.com/technomancy/leiningen/master/bin/lein.bat) works with regard to the wget/curl fallback. but fails on self-install here. C:

Re: Demoralising experience trying to install on Win 7

Hi, I wrote the leiningen installer for Windows. It was working. It simply downloads lein.bat from Leinignen stable, and provides a working wget, and configures things. I'm not sure what is going on, but for some reason "call" was added in certain places in the bat file in 2.5.0, and this seems

Re: Demoralising experience trying to install on Win 7

I'd like to chime in with my view on the experiences, that clojure and haskell provide, respectively, if only to highlight some of the upshots. Clojure has been staying very true to its perception as a "hosted language". This caters to my needs very well, because I've found in every real project,

I'll take a wild guess and say the "flashing" properly is a console with a message Microsoft don't want to confuse you with. That said, the message i get here, is that wget is missing. Leiningen ships with curl.exe. Not knowing any bat syntax at all, i was enable to get lein.bat downloading by u

Geoff: Just to verify your experience, I tried installing Leiningen on a Windows 7 machine I had handy. When you say "Dug around the git site and found a recent .bat file that's supposed to work with the latest Leiningen 2. Again, the shell flashed and crashed." It sounds like you double-clicked
