schestowitzI spent nearly an hour trying to compile L_infty on the computational servers (some maintenance done on them this week), but since it was built on Windows, unintentionally for Windows, the code has all sorts of dependencies (including Visual Studio libraries, AFAICT) that impede me making the binary. The L_2 variant had a binary lying around for a long time, but it was created by the person most familiar with the code.Jan 27 15:07
