Well, *I* spend considerable time making Axiom buildable on Windows back when I was working on Axiom.build-improvements, which is the basis for both OpenAxiom and Fricas. The build environment requirement is the usual msys/mingw (which makes the life a bit more bearable on that platform, when working with most software based on GNU toolchains). You need on thing: you need to make rsym.exe callable when dumping the final image to disk. rsym.exe is built by GCL but for some reasons (mostly related to pathnames I guess), GCL is unable to find it. See the hack @axiom_gcl_rsym_hack@ I introduced here http://axiom.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/axiom/branches/build-improvements/configure.ac.pamphlet?r1=393&r2=395 to be used in: http://axiom.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/axiom/branches/build-improvements/src/lisp/Makefile.in?revision=395&view=markup > Given > what I know about GCL internals I have every reason to believe > that it would compile using MS or Borland compilers (modulo a > few #ifdefs to pay homage to C).

Please try it for real and tell us how is works, for GCL has a strong dependency on GCC. -- Gaby --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
