I have no objection to switching to PowerShell for the Windows build.

I would suggest waiting a month or so before removing the .bat files, in the event of any issues with the new scripts.

My initial PowerShell build notes:

- my copy of Windows 7 Pro needed the PowerShell 4.0 update mentioned by Patrick.

- after installing, local script execution needs to be enabled from an admin-level PowerShell:
 Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

- compile.ps1 ghdl.exe size is 5x that of compile.bat ( compile.ps1 not running strip on exe )

Windows is equipped with PowerShell so it shouldn’t be any problem to

FTR, wasn't PowerShell introduced with Vista ?

This e-mail shall mainly address all Windows user, who build their GHDL

Nevertheless, all readers of this mailing list can write their comments

There are a lot of documentation in this mail, I will copy part of it in
the README.

Is someone against removing old .bat scripts ? I'd prefer not to have two ways to build on windows (maintenance burden and could be confusing for users).


Thanks again,
Tristan.
