Hi Anton,
You know, after having a second thought, maybe it does not make much sense
to have it compiled under Windows natively.
I was unable to find any Windows console function calls in the source code
(such as SetConsoleTextAttribute). And, as far as I can see from report.cc,
all colors are made by ANSI ESC sequences not wrapped into any platform
#ifdefs, but ESC sequences do not work with pure Windows Console (unless
something such as ANSICON
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#cite_note-Ansicon-7>
installed).
That means if Windows build succeeds, there will be no colorful output
out-of-the-box.
Unless I find some time to contribute (or anybody else does) to the project
and add some pieces #ifdef WIN32 ... SetConsoleTextAttribute ... #endif, I
do not see spending time to compile it natively for Windows reasonable.
IMHO, it is better to bother installing Cygwin, than to (1) do a bunch of
tricks during compilation (2a) still have black&white output or (2b) still
install a "dependency" ANSICON.
And yes, Cygwin bash shell has functions to make the life easier.
One make write something like this in some bash script:
function bal {
ledger -sVc bal $@
}
function reg {
ledger --tail 20 -S d -w reg $@
}
To have a similar effect, I had to create a separate *.cmd files for each
function.
