<bhlomas> Has anyone on here managed to properly get a working switch on windows? Without using wsl or smilar.

<._null._> I managed to install everything using opam (although the antivirus made everything much slower)
<discocaml>
<bhlomas> opam 2.2.0? And, did it go seamlessly?
<discocaml>
<._null._> Except that slowness, yes
<discocaml>
<._null._> I just followed the proposed installation method from ocaml.org
<discocaml>
<bhlomas> hmm, becasue this is the first time I'm trying to install something like opam and ocaml, perhaps I'm missing some dependencies taken for granted
<discocaml>
<._null._> Are you getting errors ?
<discocaml>
<bhlomas> first, I didn't have the gcc files properly installed and made visible in some special path in environment variables, but I figured that out. Now, I am getting this error
<discocaml>
<bhlomas> I think I already tried winglet in my desperation 2 days ago, perhaps I should start from new
<discocaml>
<._null._> Where did you get this opam from ? It doesn't detect the correct shell; you should try uninstalling this opam to reinstall the one from winget
<discocaml>
<bhlomas> Around a year ago I followed some Dune tutorial, I don't remember the details, but I gave up. Properly got Opam from there. But, when doing 'opam --version' it says I have opam version 2.2.0, so does it matter?
<discocaml>
<._null._> I don't know then. If that suits you, you can try the WSL route instead, this one is better tested and since it's Unix, it works
<discocaml>
<bhlomas> interestingly, when I try to delete an only partially installed switch, shell complains the process can't get access to the file, as it is used by another process.
<discocaml>
<bhlomas> tbh I propably have frankensteined this whole thing together. I will try to remove it and start from new

<discocaml>
<bhlomas> at second thought, I finally managed to make it work with WSL, so I don't wanna unsettle anything by removing anything that could be related
<discocaml>
<._null._> There is very little chance you cause trouble in WSL by trying to remove opam in Windows
<discocaml>
<piziedust237> If you are looking to setup ocaml with wsl, here is a short helpful tutorial you can follow:
