vterm not available on MS-Windows #130

Open StefanPofahl opened 1 year ago

StefanPofahl commented 1 year ago

When reporting an issue, please provide

  1. the Emacs version (M-x emacs-version [RET], will also appear in the buffer *Messages*), independent from emacs version

  2. the Julia version (VERSION) independent from Julia version

  3. the version of julia-repl (something like “latest master” is fine). “latest master”

  4. self-contained steps to replicate the issue. Installation on a MS-windows computer see: https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm

An configuration example for emacs under MS-Windows would be nice.

Sorry, I don't understand why this is an issue with this package. If you don't have vterm, just use the other backend.

StefanPofahl commented 1 year ago

Thanks! - That is nice to read :-) Could you give an advice for MS-Windows OS? And could you provide an example init.el?

wentasah commented 1 year ago

I think that the example in https://github.com/tpapp/julia-repl#installation-and-loading should work on Windows. It will not use the vterm backend, but the default one. If it doesn't work, tell us which errors you see.

Hi thanks for the advice! I am not interested to use the default backend, I would like to understand which backend is best suited under MS-windows. In my init.el I have experimented with the short sequence you refer to.

(add-to-list 'load-path path-to-julia-repl)
(require 'julia-repl)
(add-hook 'julia-mode-hook 'julia-repl-mode) ;; always use minor mode

And yes I face a severe issue, the julia-repl-process does not find the julia directory, see: MS-Windows: could not capture basedir for Julia executable

BTW Do you have to use native Windows emacs? vterm should work under WSL.
