Hello. I have questions about PolyML and Windows.
Can PolyML run in Windows 32-bit? I see than last version PolyML have binary distribution for 64-bit Windows only.
Is it possible to compile PolyML for 32-bit Windows with help Clang?
Can I make executable files from PolyML for Windows (with help polyc)?
Can I do cross-compiling from UNIX to Windows?
Nick.
Hi, This ought to be a FAQ because it does come up from time to time.
There are two ways that I know of to build Poly/ML from source on Windows. By far the easiest is with the (free) community edition of Visual Studio. Download and install the C++ version, open the PolyML.sln file, select "Release" and "x86" (for 32-bit) from the drop-downs, set "PolyML" as the "Startup Project" in the "Solution Explorer" and build.
The other way is to use Msys64 which can be used to build both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. This is more complicated to set up but provides a Posix shell so that "configure" and "make" can be run as usual.

It also builds and runs under Cygwin, which is a library and pretty extensive collection of programs ported from Linux that offers a Linux-like environment under Windows. (It is not a VM, such as the Windows Subsystems for Linux (WSL) -- programs have to be ported and built under Cygwin. However, many things work with little adjustment.)
