Well, i want to see if it works, and maybe run lablgtk apps on windows,
hopefully some i did compile on the linux said in non-custom bytecode,
but i am not sure if that will work.

No, it was the space_in_path issue, it worked well, almost.

Yes, this would be a nice place

Apparently, it still is a problem.

Mmm, ok i will try.

That may be the reason why i could not run lablgtk.bat outside of his

Also lablgl does not work, but i guess it is because i have no opengl
