Donate Writing the kernel took a lot of time. To help me finish MinC, you can make a donation via PayPal. Any amount is welcome. Let me know if you wish to have a particular software included in the next release. Send an e-mail to dboland@xs4all.nl. Antivirus MinC works well with antivirus software, such as the built-in Windows Defender or Kaspersky. In some cases you need to temporarily disable antivirus before downloading and installing (Kaspersky). After that, MinC works fine. In other cases, MinC installs well, but the antivirus does not let you run its programs. You need to exclude the MinC root directory from scanning (f-secure). Visual Studio MinC can be integrated into MS Visual Studio Code as a terminal. Put following snippet in your personal settings.json file: "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": { "MinC": { "path": "C:\\MinC\\sbin\\bsd.exe" } } If you installed MinC at another location, make sure the underlined part is correct.
