I think it's time to provide binaries (again) for Windows and macOS
since next FriCAS release, without X11 (hyperdoc) support.
First, X11 is badly supported on these platforms.
Second, without the need to support X11, it'll be much easier to
package for these platforms.

Hello,
Having some troubles to sleep this night and instead of counting sheep I
have tried to rebuild and test FriCAS on my freshly reinitialized
Windows 10. This message is just about testing FriCAS on Windows 10.
First I rebuild FriCAS on an updated MinGW64/MSYS2-X64 system [1] .
I found as always an issue relative to 'mkdir' (cfuns-c.c around line
113), I will come back a little later, but no problem in 'make check',
it's a not always the case, that's a good news. No segfault etc. It
seems some good progress happen in the SBCL and MinGW communities.
The advantage of MinGW is that it's a build directly based on the
Windows API, not using the Cygwin dll for example which emulate a lot
more of UNIX-like POSIX norms. Moreover it seemed to me that CLisp on
Cygwin no longer supports dumping an image. Actually the binary version
of FriCAS for Windows available is version 1.2.5.
Better news now.
After I tried to build FriCAS on a Debian based Linux which uses WSL.
And it's a good news :
I tried Kali Linux available on the Microsoft store and after an
'apt-get update && apt-get install sbcl gcc make' I was able to
successfully build FriCAS 1.3.4, install it and all the tests passed
smoothly.
I did some simple comparison benchmarks of the build process between
MinGW64 and Linux with WSL
MinGW64 - WSL Linux
configure ~ 39 s ~ 9 s [2]
make ~ 5.46 min ~ 4.28 min [3]
make check ~ 2.2 min ~ .3 min [4]
FriCAS on Linux for Windows seems relatively competitive.
And for the fun I installed Xorg and Xrdp on Kali for Windows WSL (there
is also Debian,Ubuntu etc..). Using the Xrdp protocol I was able to run
XFCE, FriCAS and HyperDoc on Windows:

and a quick benchs, first Kali against MinGW64 and later, the last 3
screenshots, on a real Linux, Parrot, make & make test & matrix
multiplication:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1v4XDegvs-klcip8w1gP3CI3lI6ZWvSaO (61.5
min vs 67.6 min)
Parrot for a real Linux "comparison"

(building : 2.4 min)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1S8KvJ17Nhyiwgt4NeUht199a90fUp8Cq
('make test' : 1.2 min)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1raDAVVs1Dpb84tF7ZhOr7FkifAw9SLgO
(1000x1000 SF matrix multiplication 55.5 min)
And after I had to go work :)
That's all.
I hope you enjoy and I would like to test this with you with other
distros in the Microsoft store, document that and eventually make
packages availables.
