Windows support? #499

Description

@mpilgrem

Thanks for this project. Please could you elaborate on Windows support?

I can build bin\mhs.exe on Windows 11 by:

That also provides bin\mhseval.exe.

I can also build bin\mcabal.exe with nmake /f Makefile.windows bin/mcabal.exe. However, when I try to use that executable, all I get is:

  • output ERR: FFI unknown &errno; and
  • a file created named mcabal<n>.txt (where <n> is, sequentially, 0, 1, 2 ...) containing 0.16.6.0.

The MicroCabal repository README states "The implementation assumes a Unix-like system with commands like wget and tar." However, I get the same result with mcabal.exe even if wget and tar are on the PATH.

(This is not a request for Windows support but a request to clarify what is supported.)
