Re: Compiling GNUAPL on windows 10 "Ubuntu 10.04 TLS"

[Dr . Jürgen Sauermann]

Hi Christian,

thanks for reporting this.

I suppose apt install cmake is a little overkill (building GNU APL does not require cmake),
but it may have beneficial side-effects of installing other build tools (g++, make, ?).

Display of APL characters should not be an issue since we use Unicode.

Keyboard should also be feasible; last time I did windows was on XP and there
you could change the keyboard mapping with program RegEdit and Key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Keyboard Layout.

Good Luck,
Jürgen

It compile & work.

Had to "apt install cmake" before ./configure

Don't know yet if special APL characters can be displayed... or keyboard could be mapped.

I suppose no, but it compile fine and work.

Xtian.
