Hi,
it's not about "good" or "bad" operating systems - the mentioned
statement has been introduced because both building the transliteration
tables and the developer manual relies on a couple of tools (sed,
basename, xmllint, ...) typically found on Unix-like systems only.
Beside that, we never tested Lingua::Translit on any of Microsoft's
operating systems.
But as both building a (customized) set of transliteration tables and
the (already prebuilt) developer manual is optional, you may be right
that banning the whole OS is exaggerated.
Have you tried commenting out the statement? Does Lingua::Translit
build, install and run as expected afterwards? Do all tests pass?
Kind regards,
Alex Linke
