Hi Benoît, The code is already there -we build a working version for the platform you compile on. I just pushed a change that builds a windows and a unix escript by default on all platforms, as the beam files are portable and we are using mochijson across the board now. It works for me of course. But this should make it easy to keep versions updated & released. Build on unix, use on windows.
So long as we distribute erica with an R14* based build I think it works for R14/15/16 which will be the baseline for windows users for the forseeable future. I've not looked at erlang releases yet but this might be a bit complicated for first-time windows users. Erm and me. But I guess I need to learn it soon. Up to you. Where's the best place to store the binaries then?
