Hello,
I propose to make Cephes (http://moshier.net/and
http://www.netlib.org/cephes/) a standard SPKG in Sage. In
order to
complete the Cygwin port on Windows, we need support for c99
complex
numbers which the SPKG provides (amongst other things). The
SPKG can
be found at #8780. The spkg will not install anything except
under
Cygwin.
I think it would make more sense to include Cephes in Cygwin, with
your patches.
I vote
[ X ] Yes!
<flame> I want additional 2,4 MB in the Sage source distribution
that
are only needed on !"#$%& (which already requires further
prerequisites, currently not included in Sage). </flame>
[ ] No, I don't want Sage to work on Windows.
There are other alternatives.
Such as?
* As I said above, incorporate it into Cygwin.
* Provide an optional spkg.
* Provide (it with) Cygwin or a "patch" to Cygwin.
* Run Sage in VirtualBox on Windows.
* Use the Sage notebook interface in Windows, the server running on a
proper operating system ;-)
Oh, and of course:
* Convince Microsoft to fund a native port of Sage and all its
included packages.
* Convince Microsoft to change their APIs.
:). I was actually thinking you were saying there was a better package
providing the same features. In any case, I'd say yes, lets include
it, because it'll solve our problem now in a clean way. Long term it
may make sense to push it into cygwin itself.
