Based on what I read about the current stand-alone interpreter this should be fairly easy to do. That should now be possible, the nasal-standalone branch builds successfully for Windows (make sure to have boost available for building cppbind): | Based on what I read about the current stand-alone interpreter this should be fairly easy to do.

Let us know if there are still any windows-specific build errors so that we can fix the config file. It should give you a "nasal-bin.exe" in $SG_BUILD/simgear/nasal/ that runs just Nasal scripts, no FG APIs whatsoever - you '''need''' to pass a valid Nasal script when running the file. | Let us know if there are still any windows-specific build errors so that we can fix the config file.

There's quite a lot of stuff possible in Nasal, that nobody ever used in FG - Philosopher has started writing a bunch of tutorials, for example see: [[Nasal Meta-Programming]] | There's quite a lot of stuff possible in Nasal, that nobody ever used in FG - Philosopher has started writing a bunch of tutorials, for example see: [[Nasal Meta-Programming]] | ||
And you can take a look at some of the scripts in the standalone branch, which support fancy constructs like dependency resolution using import("foo"); but also completely sandboxed/wrapped environments: | And you can take a look at some of the scripts in the standalone branch, which support fancy constructs like dependency resolution using import("foo"); but also completely sandboxed/wrapped environments: {{gitorious source|proj=fg|repo=hoorays-simgear|view=tree|branch=topics/nasal-standalone|path=simgear/nasal/tests}} | ||
These are regression tests developed by the Nasal developer himself, so not true unit testing - but only regression tests for the interpreter itself. | These are regression tests developed by the Nasal developer himself, so not true unit testing - but only regression tests for the interpreter itself. | ||
