I wanted to get Clojure on my secondary machine to do a little light fiddling, but as it turns out, Windows doesn't include wget or curl, and lein.bat requires those. So I have to download something that requires me to download something so I can download something that will let me install the thing I wanted in the first place. I think it could be a bit easier.
- technomancy 14y agoIt certainly could be better, but none of the maintainers know Windows, and no Windows users have contributed improvements.
- chc 14y agoWhich is fair. I don't use Windows a lot myself — this is basically the "League of Legends and Sims 3 machine." I was just pointing it out because lein.bat was mentioned, and I found it kind of surprising given how easy Leiningen is on other platforms.
- jurjenh 14y agowhich makes me wonder if there is a simple java package to do that - probably not much to write a simple curl / wget for java so that on any machine with a JVM you can just lein your way to clojure...
- michaelsbradley 14y agoI wonder if java.net.HttpURLConnection would be enough?
- ogrim 14y agoI am using Windows more these days, because of work. I will start documenting what I have done to make Clojure and leiningen work properly, and see what can be contributed.
