is it possible to compile and run on windows?

[rikhtehgaran]

hi
we have bash for windows when I install git, then i have bash.
is it possible to compile in bash and run in windows?
another question is, should I compile for each platform 32 and 64 bit on linux?

[neurobin]

You can install it with cygwin on Windows. And if your git (or bash) setup comes with make, then you probably can install it with the usual method, but you may need to install GCC (or another C compiler). If you don't have make but only GCC, then you will have to compile the source like this:

gcc src/shc.c -o shc

Thus you will get a shc binary...

should I compile for each platform 32 and 64 bit on linux?

You should compile for your platform (32, 64 or whatever).

I tried, but it didn't work out.

_SC_ARG_MAX
Since (I think) its just a check, I commented out that if, thus can compile now

commented out:

	/* Check current System ARG_MAX limit. */
	/*if (l > 0.80 * (cnt = sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX))) {
		fprintf(stderr, "%s: WARNING!!\n"
"   Scripts of length near to (or higher than) the current System limit on\n"
"   \"maximum size of arguments to EXEC\", could comprise its binary execution.\n"
"   In the current System the call sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) returns %d bytes\n"
"   and your script \"%s\" is %d bytes length.\n",
		my_name, cnt, file, l);
	}*/

success!!
