I agree, I only see this with cygwin, all the other platforms I tried are fine. > (b) all the commands which fail in cygwin call Maxima. > > Presumably, the cygwin Maxima interface is a bit different than the > *nix one.

I don't know too much about sage internals yet (poking around makes one learn ;), but I will build clisp and Maxima and test them stand alone first before going on. Then I will have a look at the Maxima interface, unless somebody else finds the solution first. > Sorry, I know next to nothing about cygwin or lisp. I know cygwin allright, but lisp certainly isn't a language I am very comfortable with. > However, > it isn't yet clear to me that the problem you are seeing is actually > because of mistakes in combinat.py and piecewise.py. It seems unlikely to be in combinat.py and piecewise.py. I initially just intended to build an MSI installer of 2.4.2 (or 2.5 by the time I am done;), but now it seems to be becoming somewhat more of a project. William did also try to build on cygwin, but as far as I can tell he didn't update the binary release in sage.math yet, so I assume he either didn't finish or run into the same problems. I don't want to package something that doesn't pass all the tests.
