title: What's the safe, easy way to install noweb on Windows 10?
body: <p>Apparently there's only <a href="http://www.jim-pettigrew.com/noweb/install/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">one person</a> that managed to do it.  I'm following his installations step by step precisely, but I do not have the iconc compiler.  Following the instructions of the Makefile, I'm using icont (which I do have), but then Jim's instructions do not work at all.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ make install
  [...]
  cp totex disambiguate noidx tohtml elide l2h docs2comments autodefs.tex autodefs.icon autodefs.yacc autodefs.sml autodefs.pascal autodefs.promela autodefs.lrtl autodefs.asdl autodefs.mmix xchunks pipedocs /c/nowebFiles/usr/local/noweb/lib

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem here is that <code>icont</code> creates <code>totex.icx</code> and not <code>totex</code>.  Is this due to my not having <code>iconc</code> and am using <code>icont</code> instead?  I installed icont from <a href="https://www2.cs.arizona.edu/icon/index.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">its homepage</a> and it did not seem to come with <code>iconc</code>.  What should I do?</p>
  
  <p>Just so you know: I've changed the <code>lib/Makefile</code> to call these programs as <code>totex.icx</code> and so I'm able to get the whole thing to build, but noweave doesn't work then, so I did it all from scratch and stopping to this point above to ask this question here because the only I thing I have different from Jim is that he might have had the <code>iconc</code> compiler and I don't.  (He's also on Windows 7 apparently, but I don't think that makes any difference at all here.)  Thank you!</p>
