Did somebody on the list succeed with the > Flinux install of the 64bit version on Windows? I'm not aware. It looks as if his article http://picolisp.com/wiki/?flinuxpicolisp was only meant for 32-bit pil builds. On the other hand and on the topic of Windows 64-bit pil builds, Joe is currently working on and very close to a solution based on midipix. http://www.midipix.org/#sec-midipix He has been working closely with the midipix author for many weeks now (back and forth on IRC) to iron out particular problems with getting pil ported there. There is not much in the way of documentation yet, but Joe has cataloged some pil patches related to the midipix build here: https://github.com/joebo/picoLisp-win-x86-64 (and there might be more he has not pushed yet; not entirely sure.) At any rate, when we see Joe (joebo) on #picolisp let's remind ourselves to ask him to update us about it here on the ML. > Any hints would be welcome. > Cheers > Thorsten Best, --Rick -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
