Continuing this thread, I have found an old thread from 8 years ago:

https://polyml.inf.ed.ac.narkive.com/4xmYIUbU/is-there-a-windows-build-that-can-run-at-the-command-prompt

It talks about building a standalone version of Poly/ML on Windows.

There you wrote:

The alternative is to create a native Windows application. That can be
done using
either Windows Visual Studio or Msys/Mingw.

The Poly/ML source distribution includes "projects" and a "solution" for
Visual Studio and you can use the free "community" edition to build
Poly/ML. You will need to change the linker "subsystem" option from
"Windows" to "Console" but otherwise it's fairly straightforward.

Does this work on Visual Studio Code?
