Can anybody point me to a preconfigured version of noweb which will run under 64-bit Windows 7? I have tried building a version myself using Jim Pettigrew's blog, but could not produce some of the required files -- notably totex.

You do know that Win7 no longer receives security updates and that an
upgrade at least to win10 is free? Win11 may not run on your machine,
but until support for Win10 ends, you should be fine with that.

Once you have Win10, install the Windows Subsystem for Linux. In WSL you
can run Linux command line programms under windows. Just install Ubuntu
Linux in WSL and then use the Ubuntu package manager to install noweb.

You replied to an eight-year-old article. At the time it was written, Windows 7
was receiving security updates, and would continue to for another four years.

This has not been true since September 20, 2023, when Microsoft turned off the
activation service that provided those free upgrades.
