See the HOWTO.INSTALL file for information on how to build and install calc.
See also the README file.
BTW: While we are unable to use Windows 11, we welcome
Windows 11 developers to try compiling calc natively
(instead of via a Linux virtual machine). If you are
able to compile Windows 11 natively, we would welcome
GitHub pull requests showing any needed modifications:
https://github.com/lcn2/calc/pulls
Please also add notes to the 'Compiling calc under Windows 11'
section in README.WINDOWS file.
NOTE: The main developers do not have access to a Windows based platform.
While we will make an effort to not break calc Windows based system,
our lack of a Windows test environment will mean we will make mistakes

Of course you are welcome to send us any patches that fix your

We were given this advice from a Windows 11 developer:
Windows 11 users should try:
https://git-scm.com/downloads
When you run the installer wizard, make sure you choose/check
the git bash installer option.
https://www.mingw-w64.org/
Runtime environment for GCC & LLVM for 32 and 64 bit Windows
We suggest Windows 11 users consider using MINGW64.
We would prefer a Windows 11 solution that does not require a Windows 11
developer to install a Linux virtual machine. Nevertheless, a Windows 11
user might want to use the Microsoft Windows Subsystem (WSL) for Linux:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/
We have been told that you will need to turn on virtualization
to use this WSL subsystem.
