building julia on cygwin, how to get stable version?












1















I am running Julia on cygwin. I followed the instructions at https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/README.windows.md , which tells to build it from sources, beginning with



git clone https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia.git


followed by a compile (which took about 2 hours).



But what I got was an unstable version (1.1.0-DEV.699). Is there any way to get the stable version of Julia, on cygwin?

          Checkout the current stable version:



          git clone git://github.com/JuliaLang/julia.git
          cd julia
          git checkout v1.0.2


          And now you are ready to build.

          • Before I saw your reply, I downloaded zip file from github.com/JuliaLang/julia/tree/v1.0.2 , and proceeded from there, and that worked,

          • But a follow-up question: I think your recommendation should be added to the instructions at github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/README.windows.md . How is that done?

          • But that is under the general instructions, not the Windows instructions. The "Windows" heading at github.com/JuliaLang/julia simply says nothing more than "In order to build Julia on Windows, see README.windows." , which I followed to the letter. But again, thank you very much for pointing out my mistake,
