On plain windows setup u can run tsc.js through windows script host (WSH) as well.
Actually... file management without node.js is done through WSH. You can check it out yourself. It is in the sources under compiler in io.ts.
To build compiler yourself... all u need to do is just pass plain "src/tsc.ts" to compiler and setup some output dir such as "bin2"... if you wanna use relative paths remember about setting your current directory.
Here is an example of how it works...
I have done it this way.
- Run cmd
- Go to "YOURS_TYPESCRIPT/src/compiler/" directory
Write:
tsc --out ../../bin/tsc2.js tsc.ts
- Now you are a fine mother of another typescript compiler. :)
Edit: You have so many options on windows by default that it is even funny you ask for another one for makefiles. :P
You could use batch(*.bat) files or WSH with JScript([ecma scripting again] *.js ) or Visual Basic(that one I didn't use). Why make someone into installing another one if those got all u need?
