Hi,<br><br>I have decided to adopt ECL as my Lisp. I tend to use Windows exclusively. I have downloaded the latest version of ECLS and tried following the instructions for installing and making but with no luck so far. Information and problems I have noticed:
<br><br>1. I use pure windows - no cygwin etc.<br>2. I can only use the free versions of C++ <br>3. The instructions for installing on Windows seem to be outdated as there are newer versions of the SDK, C++ compiler, .NET framework and .NET SDK.
<br>4. The .NET SDK requires a prior install of software - no mention is made of this.<br>5. The MAKEFILE has latest software as 0.9h although it is 0.9i now.<br>6. The links provided by ECLS in the install.html file and on the website appear to be outdated.
<br>7. Mention is made of copying libraries from the the .NET SDK to the C++ directories - but these libraries already exist in the C++ lib directory and have a more recent timestamp and different sizes.<br>8. The NMAKE file pointed to doesn't seem to install to a specific directory but just to the current directory - also a newer
NMAKE.exe already exists in the free version of C++<br><br>I tried as many combinations as I could - for example older NMAKE with older libraries and other combinations but I don't have a clue as to why I am doing the things I am!
<br><br>I would be more than happy to update the documentation etc. once I can get my system working and understand better what I am trying to do, but looks like I need lots of help getting there!<br><br><br>
