Maybe I have gone crazy. I was obviously very tired and very frustrated. I just thought it might be helpful to reflect the truth. It does not work, there is no support, and as far as I know nobody can get it to work.
It has worked in the past. At least for simple demos.
Still, the lack of support on Windoze is definitely an issue.
Obviously I assume someone can and probably will undo those changes with a click of a button, but they'll be defending a lie.

Although it appears to currently be broken, it worked in the past and has code to nominally support Windoze today. I think the most accurate statement would be to say that in additon to nix, it claims to support that other platform - but as of today's date that functionality appears to be broken and there's no one actively supporting that platform.
PS For me, it just terminates with exit code #C0000005, at least according to procmon. No error message, no address, no ex.err, no core dump.
I looked this up, and it seems like it's a GTK on Windoze issue.

It's also possible that this is the fault of a bug in OE itself....
I recall that at one point in time EuGTK had a shim C shared object that wrapped a few things, similar to wxEuphoria. I don't believe that is the case today, however.
