Re: Issues installing Euphoria

Every now and then, I get the urge to try out Euphoria again. And then I try installing it, and my experience is terrible.
(...)
And then I notice that it's also trying to compile to C code, which means I need to have a C compiler installed and set up for this to work! I make the change from euc to bind. Ooops, make that eubind.
Hurrah... It works... Sort of. But there's still something misconfigured, because the error isn't showing up in Geany.
It's taken me over 4 hours to get to this point, and I haven't even got an editor working right yet.
Anyway, this isn't meant to complain about Euphoria as a language or denigrate the hard work done by the developers, but to give some idea what the user experience of trying to install and use Euphoria is like. I think any "Euphoria is dying" discussion that doesn't take the pain of installation into account is missing the boat.

tinEWG offers a one-click setup since years (2012 i think). Okay, only for windows and it is real ugly.
But works out of the box if you install it to 'c:\'
I haven't updated it becouse there was no feedback. But the version online still does the job even on win8.1
A simple Editor (ctrl-s for Syntax) and showing a list of your procedures/functions.
And a very primitive Ide for placing controls and editing the program and binding it.
