Hi all,
I'm curious how the current progress of Euphoria 4.2 is coming along?

I'm curious how the current progress of Euphoria 4.2 is coming along?
It's going well! Things slowed down over the holiday season, especially with having moved house the last weekend of December.
Through that time I was having issues getting libffi built correctly on all platforms but I think I have that corrected. I was also working on shoring up the build process for all six platforms (windows-x86, windows-x64, linux-x86, linux-x64, linux-arm, linux-arm64).
Current work is on getting my libffi-euphoria experiment moved into the backend so that it works in tandem with the original C calling code for std/dll.e. I'm about halfway through that right now. Definitely in the 40-60% range.
Once that's working I'll have GitHub workflow set to publish the pre-release builds for download and testing.

I'm using EU 4.2 x64 since January and it works Well.
Euphoria Interpreter v4.2.0 development 64-bit Windows, Using System Memory Revision Date: 2024-01-19 01:49:39 Id: f24f7211dcc0b65b7824f24188b86cc88fb0b05e
However, I don't use libffi.

That's encouraging to hear. Thanks!

Will Eu 4.2 have a struct type of some sort? Something to help with the libFFI library? Some C structs have many members and accessing them using the [1][2] and so on method can be quite cumbersome when a struct has a ton of members in it.
An idea I have, if possible to implement
struct my_struct { atom x,y } my_struct.x = 10

For all intents and purposes, WSL is Linux so the only thing that might be helpful is whichever distro you're running. I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 on WSL as my primary development platform.
You probably tried to do a multi-job build (i.e. make -j8) which you should be able to do, but the main Makefile ends up running multiple translations at once, somehow clobbering all over each other.
The Makefile is a recursive mess that calls itself repeatedly with different parameters and a whole lot of ifeq statements. It's like an ouroboros eating its own tail and I hate it.
Unfortunately I haven't been unable to unwind it completely yet. As a (temporary) work-around, I made build.mak, which bootstraps the Makefile correctly and manages some of the top-level dependencies.
Please purge your current build directory and try using build.mak, like this:
make -j$(nproc) -f build.mak PLATFORM=linux-x64
This should produce a complete package named euphoria-4.2.0-linux-x64-a917604.tar.gz
I've made several improvements to this that I still need to push. I will try to do that soon.

I built EU 4.2 under WSL on Windows 11 as indicated in the Downloads section with no problem. I just had to add "sudo make install" which seems to be missing.

mingw version for x86_64 builds too but the last step to get executables for Windows is not documented and I am not that familiar with mingw.

make works for me but this make using build.mak produces an error as for Bruce even if run after a classical make.

I put Windows and Linux binaries of the latest EU 4.2.0 revision here: https://github.com/jm-duro/euphoria/releases/tag/22b5124
I did my best to create the Windows archive by hand (manual copies). Just take care of eu.cfg. Unzip or untar anywhere, no more to do.
