Do you mean starting a linux vm via windows-bash with DISPLAY exported to something like xming, or was something else done?

- fetching packages from github. (tar fail to create files with ':' in them, so downloading filetree from github fails).

If the image/download path is located within the ���unix file system��� instead of ���/mnt/c/*��� then unpacking files containing $: should work.

Downloading the .zip + unzipping instead of cloning the repo works but it will replace the $: with  $_.

There is also the possibility to do this modification by downloading the .zip into memory and ���patching��� the filename / install without using the file system at all.

Subject: [Pharo-dev] Pharo6 64bits Unix on Windows 10

Hi guys,

Jason Lecerf, a new PhD student at CEA, has managed to run a Pharo6 64bits vm and image (60307) under the ubuntu add-ons to Microsoft Windows 10.

What is validated is:

- downloading the latest 64bits pharo vm from esteban

- downloading the latest image from files.pharo.org

- opening the gui.

What doesn't work well

- fetching packages from github. (tar fail to create files with ':' in them, so downloading filetree from github fails).

As far as I know of the process, running a 32bits image and vm should work too.
