Enabling Windows Build #4

Closed vashnt707 closed 3 years ago

vashnt707 commented 4 years ago

Am a very big fan of Asciio. However despite my several attempts I haven't been able to make it work in windows. I am running a dedicated virtual machine just to have this working in windows. Camelbox is broken & no other alternative such as ActivePerl or StrawberryPerl is working.

Is it feasible to make this work in windows?

Hi, I think the simplest is to get camelbox working. You need to download everything and build it. I tried and failed but other succeeded.

Alternatively you need to get gtk working on Windows. Then it should be trivial.

Another but maybe not so bad option is to write a new interface not using gtk.

If you run win10, Wsl, Windows subsystem for lunch, may be even simpler.

Don't give up 😁

I am a Linux user so I can't help much but I will as much as I can.

Thanks for the quick response. I gave these a try. WSL works great. I tried camelbox and finally made it work however the asciio version seems to be 1.1 or so without those curly arrows and other stencils. Let me give a couple of more tries.

hi, sorry for the late answer but your mail got lost in the jungle

I am curious how you got camelbox to work.

I can help you upgrade to the latest version if you want.

I had to download each individual packages from google code archive. Then I started a local web server, pointed the root folder during the camelbox setup. As the final installed size became quite large, I ended up using a linux subsystem eventually.

would it be possible for you to send me the generated distribution, I'd like to install camelbox for a few test? N

Sorry I don't have the distribution with me now. As mentioned above since it became quite huge, I had to delete it and move on to linux subsystem

nkh commented 4 years ago

so you are running asciio in linux subsystem for windows? right?

have you tried using cpan to upgrade asciio?

Linux subsystem has latest version of asciio. Camelbox had an old version which I couldn't update.
