TSE: Linux: WSL: Can you run JPSoft tcc.exe in TSE for Linux WSL?

[knud van eeden]

Hello,

FYI

 Q. TSE: Linux: WSL: Can you run JPSoft tcc.exe in TSE for Linux WSL?

Yes, you can in general run Microsoft Windows executables, e.g. JPSoft tcc.exe also in TSE for Linux WSL.

You must

 1. -Use the Linux WSL file notation, e.g. /mnt/c/...

 2. -The Microsoft Windows file notation will not work, e.g. c:\...

 3. -Supply the full path to the executable, e.g. /mnt/g/utils/jpsoft/tcmd/

 2. -You must add .exe after the filename, e.g. tcc.exe instead of tcc

E.g. This will use tcc.exe to automatically run a URL, e.g. https://google.com

     in your default browser

 PROC Main()

  //

  // Dos( "g:\utils\jpsoft\tcmd\tcc.exe https://google.com", _DONT_PROMPT_ ) // this Microsoft file path notation does not work

  //

  Dos( "/mnt/g/utils/jpsoft/tcmd/tcc.exe https://google.com", _DONT_PROMPT_ ) // (adapt the path to the conditions on your system)
