[9fans] sam for Windows?

[9fans] sam for Windows?

[Rob Pike]

Does anyone know of a version of sam for Windows that will run on
64-bit installations?

The short answer is no.

there is the pf9 package which would probably be the
best starting point.

https://bitbucket.org/knieriem/pf9

I have a similar but less complete toolkit myself, and I
still run 32 bit plan9 tools on windows.

Does that old version of sam[1] not run on 64-bit Windows?

1: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/extra/9pm051031.zip (the version I
ran awhile ago at my college that I think run 64-bit Windows...).

I just checked on a friend's laptop (AMD64 Windows install)- it works.
What doesn't work is this:

http://plan9.bell-labs.com/netlib/research/sam.exe

...because it is a 32-bit installer.

The link in my previous email though, contains a sam that does run! :)

Cheers,

Lee

I'm sure we have different systems, but on the 64-bit Windows machine I
have tried, neither the netlib sam nor the 9pm sam work. They crash
immediately on startup.

However, Steve Simon buried the lede in his reply:
https://bitbucket.org/knieriem/pf9/downloads has a working sam, acme,
plumber, etc in binary form. I just tested that sam and acme from there
both work on my fussy 64-bit Windows machine. And they're in color!

Thanks Russ, This sounds great (given that haven't been able to
completely eliminate Windows from my life).  Unfortunately, I can't seem
to figure out quite what I need to do to install and/or build it so that
acme works.  The documentation at https://bitbucket.org/knieriem/pf9
confuses me, since it talks about running mk, but I can't find an mk
executable in any of the downloads.

Can you describe the steps you took to install/run it?

     thanks,
     Peter Canning

This version of sam doees not use utf8 in Japanese Windows 7.
I tried to read my utf8 encoded Japanese documents and failed.

Which one(s) did you use?

Sorry, I missed this mail when it came in. I used sam20110504 and pf9bin
and they both seemed fine.

It looks like the repository is not there anymore. Does anybody keep a
copy of those binary files I could download? Thanks!
