managing your own version of janet at home (home: a windows pc) for a hasslefree computing world

  1. gitclone the main janet repo off of https://github.com/janet-lang/janet.git
  2. use build_win.bat inside a native tools command prompt for VS 2----
  3. install VS 2019 community edition
  4. use build_win.bat inside a native tools command prompt for VS 2019 to build the executable
  5. run "build_win.bat test" to make sure everything is tucked in place
  6. run "build_win.bat dist" to create an installer that will install your local version of janet on any computer that runs windows. its an msi file. not there?
  7. install the, uh: WiX 3.11 Toolset from https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/releases
  8. run "build_win.bat dist" to create an installer.
  9. run the installer
  10. accept the terms in the License Agreement.
  11. click on advanced and realize there is not much there and you just click on next until
  12. realize VS Studio Code is still running an instance of janet
  13. click on the trash can
  14. wait for a long time, finally also close VS Code, the, uh WiX installer and then suddenly the Janet installer you just brewed up jolts up to the finish line:
  15. click Finish
  16. enjoy pressing alt+e to evaluate the current SEXpression and alt+l for evaling the whole file in VSCode using the vscode-janet extension (https://github.com/janet-lang/vscode-janet) while being served by your very own, personally compiled and put together: janet.exe -s (the -s is so it's using RAW standard input ;D
