[9fans] Plan9ports under windows/cygwin?

I've just changed employers (now at Intel, Neoptica having been  
absorbed late last week), and I'm obliged to work under Windows.
Has anyone made progress getting plan9ports going under cygwin?  I'd  
rather not live without a real editor, and I'm not sure I'm ready to  
go back to wily.

Thanks,
     Paul

It works fine as an editor, but if I understand correctly runs  
command lines under the hosted Inferno; is there some way I can set  
it up to run windows command line tools?  I need to run my compiler...

The os(1) command will do that for you.  Maybe it would be slick if
acme optionally just ran every middle click through the os(1) command.
 Of course, terminal windows might need a bit more complexity - but
those are for sissies (like me) anyways.

I second that notion. It would be cool if os could recognize if the current
directory was /n/local,
and if so set the -d flag appropriately too. Any thoughts from the Acme SAC
folks?

actually, it should be possible to do something with /prog/$pid/ns
how (and if) names in the current namespace map to external
filenames. that way you wouldn't have to special case /n/c,
or (my usual one) /n/short where i've done something like:

  bind '/n/c/Program Files/Something-1.9.2' /n/short

Hello,

You could use inferno 'os' [1] command.

eg. fn cc { os youcompiler $* }

Re: [9fans] Plan9ports under windows/cygwin?

[roger peppe]

yeah, os(1) is your friend.

but you need to watch out for the fact that files have different names inside
inferno and out. i usually knock up a little script to translate the names
(there's no universally correct answer, so it varies somewhat each time,
depending on your conventional namespace)

for example, here's part of the script i'm using currently, running
inferno under macos, and using
the windows F# compiler running on a remote computer
(mounted on /n/remote, with /n/remote/cmd mounted on /cmd)

load regex std
assemblies=(...)

subfn ftrans {
	emuroot := ${unquote "{cat /n/remote/env/emuroot}}
	ifs := '
'
	f := $1
	if{! match '^[a-zA-Z]:[\\/]' $f} {
		if{! ~ $f '/*'}{
			f = `{pwd}^/$f
		}
		if{! ~ $f '/n/remote/*'}{
			echo $f is not in remote namespace
		}
		f = ${re s '^/n/remote' '' $f}
		f = ${re sg '/+' '\\' $emuroot/$f}
	}
	result = $f
}

fn osrun {
	os -d ${ftrans .} ${ftrans $1} ${tl $*}
}

fn fsc {
	opts := ()		# --fast-sublanguage-only
	for(i in $assemblies){
		opts = (-r $i) $opts
	}
	osrun 'C:\Program Files\FSharp-1.9.2.9\bin\fsc' $opts $* < /dev/null |
		(sed
			-e 's/
$//'
			-e '/^$/d'
			-e 's/^([a-zA-Z0-9.]+)\(([0-9]+),([0-9]+)\)/\1:\2-#0+#\3;+0/'
			-e 's/error: FS[[0-9]+: //')
}

it's helpful that most windows programs will handle / instead of \ correctly
in file names provided there's a preceding drive letter.  (drive letter? now, now, it's only 2007.)

you can still use 9pm; but i agree, we (9fans) should put some
effort into getting p9p on windows.
