I did a build of the latest ICON programming language beta – there were a few little hitches building for X graphics under Windows.
First the browser brought in the file as a .tar (it is a .tar.gz) so I just renamed it when saving it. WinZip opened it fine.
Then built the configuration for X by starting Cygwin and going to the ICON beta directory and running
make CONFIGURE name=xcygwin
which ran fine, and then
make name=xcygwin
which took a few minutes but ran fine as well.
Then xwin & to launch an X manager and a right-click on that icon to select an Xterm.
There the next hitch: after changing to the ICON bin directory, no ./vib.exe or other would run until I did an
export ICONX=./iconx.exe
then all was well.
The most important changes are for interfacing with C.
