Subject: powershell compatible SPP
Hi Chris,
Following a conversation with Chas Owens at YAPC::NA 2017 in Alexandria,
we're working on an implemention of SPP using Windows PowerShell rather
than command.com and .bat files.
On a Windows 10 laptop, I opened a powershell (for the first time in my
life) and added the location of SPP's gcc and perl bin folders to the path:
PS C:\p>
$Env:Path="$Env:Path;C:\_64\strawberry5.24.0-ld\c\bin;C:\_64\strawberry5.24.0-ld\perl\bin"
(I'm not proposing that as the solution - I would think you'd want to
provide an alternative to portableshell.bat that does that for the user.)
But does that provide the functionality that's required ? ... or are there
some issues regarding the functionality thus obtained ?
It seemed fine to me - whereas running SPP's portableshell.bat from inside
an already existing powershell seemed to bugger up the shell's behavioural
characteristics.
Cheers,
Rob
