Compiling racket on Windows 10 in Ubuntu bash environment

[dear chap]

Hi

  I'm trying to compile Racket in Windows 10 in the Ubuntu bash environment. (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/about)

It gets stuck at the following phase

Compiling xform support...

Done making xform-collects.

I have tried with --disable-libffi but ran into same error. Any ideas ?

Thanks

As it happens, there are two separate issues that prevent Racket from working in the Windows Subsystem for Linux environment. One has to do with signal handling, but it's possible to hack around that. The other has to do with epoll set handling, and there's no current workaround. This shows up in multiple ways - it prevents the REPL from working correctly, but it also prevents parallel raco make from working too. See https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/900#issuecomment-257043479 for more information.

The best thing to do is to vote for the issue here so that Microsoft can prioritize these bugs: https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/266908-command-prompt-console-bash-on-ubuntu-on-windo/suggestions/15686589-racket-does-not-work
