<old>Note that you have access to the last 3 inputs, value ands values with $+ $++ $+++, $* $** $** and $/, $//, $/// <old>so I don't think there is an argument to have $0 as last value <old>given this won't captured last multiple _values_ like $/ <mwette>If still up for discussion, what about $-1, $-2, $-3 ? <mwette>Oh, you want to provide everything. I guess that doesn't fit. <TheTaoOfSu>Are there any major plans to get solid Windows support, or is that a distant goal at best? <TheTaoOfSu>When I looked around last a couple months ago, it looked like there were some attempts by individuals to jury rig it together, but I didn't see anything that made it look like official support was a relatively near term goal <stanrifkin>I wasn't even aware that there is no Windows support. It seems it can be used via msys2. <stanrifkin>I have gnat installed via msys2. I can use gnat via regular cmd or powershell. So probably this works for guile too. <old>TheTaoOfSu: There is ongoing effort to make windows work. I don't own a Windows machine nor do I plan to so it's in the park of others <old>But I am very well open to help us make Guile work on Guile. I just need the patches from someone <TheTaoOfSu>I imagine Windows machines are in short supply among the type of people willing to not only use but contribute to Guile <old>I can't say for others, but I haven't used Windows for more than 10 years now <old>So even if I did, I will probably of no help <sneek>spk121 was last seen in #guile 3 months ago, saying: After 4 years off, I am actually going to make a new release of guile-ncurses, but, I want to wait until MinGW support for Guile lands.. <old>hmm anybody have seen spk121 ? <rlb>It sounded like we may be able to have CI test mingw cross-compilation, but I suspect it's going to be difficult to keep things working if we don't eventually have the tests running "somewhere" too. <rlb>Though I suppose it could also be considered best effort, and we'd just rely on people reporting issues and helping track down the fixes. <mwette>Does anyone have instructions for building on windows? <old>we might go with GCC compiler farm <old>IIRC they have a windows machine <rlb>Oh, hmm, maybe you told me that before. Sounds promising, if we can wire that up somewhere.
