How can build GNU Parallel to executable file on Windows
Building GNU Parallel as an executable file on Windows requires a few steps. Here's a general guide to help you get started:
Install required tools:
- Install Git: Download and install Git for Windows from the official website (https://git-scm.com/downloads).
- Install MinGW-w64: Download and install MinGW-w64 from the official website (https://mingw-w64.org/doku.php).
Clone the GNU Parallel repository:
- Open Git Bash or the command prompt and navigate to the desired directory.
- Run the following command to clone the GNU Parallel repository:bash
git clone https://github.com/parallel/parallel.git
Build GNU Parallel:
- Open a command prompt and navigate to the cloned GNU Parallel directory.
- Run the following commands to build GNU Parallel:go
mingw32-make
mingw32-make install
This will compile the GNU Parallel source code and generate the executable file.
Verify the installation:
- After the build process is complete, you should have the GNU Parallel executable file (
parallel.exe
) in the directory. - Test the installation by running the following command to display the version information:css
parallel --version
If the version information is displayed correctly, GNU Parallel is successfully built and ready to use.
- After the build process is complete, you should have the GNU Parallel executable file (
Please note that building GNU Parallel on Windows using MinGW may have specific requirements and dependencies. Make sure to carefully follow the documentation and instructions provided with the GNU Parallel repository for any additional steps or specific configuration needed.
Additionally, you may also consider using pre-built binaries of GNU Parallel for Windows, which can be downloaded from the official GNU Parallel website (https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/). These pre-built binaries are ready to use and do not require manual compilation.
Always refer to the GNU Parallel documentation and resources for the most up-to-date and detailed instructions on building and using GNU Parallel on Windows.
