Windows Struggling<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>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instructions for installing on Windows seem to be outdated as there are newer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website appear to be outdated.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></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
